Let a Senior Know you are Thankful

Residents at Melody Living Lake in the Hills Senior Living communities have vast family and professional backgrounds. However, our residents do have something in common: they value gratitude. Thanksgiving is the perfect time of year to say “thanks” to a senior who has given you a helping hand in the past.
 
Perhaps your mom, dad, aunt, uncle or a longtime boss is now in their golden years. The benefits of “thanking” them for how they impacted your life are significant. The giver and the receiver of gratitude experience emotional, social and intellectual benefits. Receiving thanks can help you feel better about your circumstances, which can lead to feeling better about yourself. Experts say giving and receiving gratitude has a strong positive impact on psychological well-being, self-esteem, and depression in seniors.

​A “thank you” can come in a variety of ways. The most traditional “thank you” is a little note. It doesn’t have to be too long or too short. Just a couple simples sentences signed with a “thank you.” A phone call is also a perfect approach. Start the conversation with; “I was thinking about you today and what a positive impact you have had on my life.” And go from there.
