Grandparents’ Day is a special occasion dedicated to celebrating the incredible contributions of grandparents. This day highlights the amazing support they provide to their families and the unique bond they share with their grandchildren.
It’s the perfect opportunity to make your grandparents feel cherished. Share your favourite memories together and create new ones that will last a lifetime!
However, we understand that many people may live far away from their grandparents, making in-person celebrations challenging.
That’s why we’ve compiled a list of thoughtful ways to connect with your grandparents and make their day truly memorable, no matter the distance.
At Crouched Friars, we recognise that families are a vital part of the care we provide to our residents. We collaborate closely with families to develop personalised care plans tailored to meet their loved ones’ needs. This ensures that families can feel confident their loved ones are receiving expert, compassionate care.
Thoughtful Ways to Celebrate this special occasion
Here are some meaningful ways to celebrate Grandparents’ Day with your loved ones, even from afar:
1. Send a card or write a letter
Sending a heartfelt card, drawing, or letter is a wonderful way to celebrate Grandparents’ Day. Consider creating a card featuring all of their favourite things or including a picture of yourself to make it extra special!
2. Send a care package
Surprise your grandparents with a care package filled with their favourite treats! Whether it’s chocolates, a new game, or their favorite flowers, a thoughtful package is a great way to show your love.
3. Organise a video call
A video call is a fantastic way to connect with your grandparents in real time, regardless of the distance. You can play games together, host a virtual party, or simply catch up and share your favourite stories.
4. Make them a video
Create a special video expressing your love and appreciation for your grandparents. Share some of your favourite memories together, or learn their favourite song to perform as a surprise!
