Long Distance Grandparenting in a Senior Living Community

Being a grandparent is such a rewarding and fulfilling title to claim as a senior. It’s a great feeling to watch your children raise a family of their own. It can be especially troubling when you have to watch all of life’s adventures from afar. Missing your grandchildren’s birthdays and special events due to distance can be heartbreaking for seniors living in assisted living and senior living. Lucky for us, our day and age in technology allow seniors incredible new ways to communicate with their family, no matter the distance.

Internet communication has become easier to use and more streamlined in recent years. Video chatting allows you to see your long-distance family and friends through a few clicks on your phone or computer. The quality of these chats is surprisingly crystal clear, and the apps are very user-friendly! Planning weekly video chats is a great way to stay involved with your family and grandchildren. Watching young children grow up is so bittersweet. The more regularly you see them, the less stark their changes seem. Assisted Living Communities in Glendale, such as MorningStar Senior Living of Arrowhead, has up to date technology in their retirement communities and actively encourages their residents’ family members to communicate as much as possible with their loved ones in senior living in Glendale, Az.

Make sure your grandchildren’s parents send you the big moments that you, unfortunately, won’t be able to attend. Dance recitals, school plays, and other big events are hard to have to miss. Asking your children to video record special moments to send you is another quick and easy way to feel involved in your grandchildren’s lives. Later, you can discuss these events with them on the phone or through a letter or package. Even though technology is improving, that doesn’t mean old forms of communication are out of style yet!
