Picture this: the aroma of a holiday roast filling the air, laughter ringing through a room full of colorful plates, and everyone—from the youngest to the most senior—feeling cherished and included. That's the kind of celebration we're talking about, but with a twist. As our family members age, our beloved traditions may need a little tweaking to accommodate their changing needs. Listen as we explore the art of adapting these traditions, whether it’s changing up the holiday menu for dietary needs, arranging seating for easy mobility, or even hosting a virtual gathering to bring far-away relatives into the fold. It’s all about keeping that warm, comforting feeling while ensuring nobody is left out in the cold.

But there's more than just the holidays to think about. We also highlight how small changes can make a big difference for family members with special needs, such as visual challenges or dementia. Ever considered how using colorful, contrasting dinnerware or larger-handled utensils can enhance a dining experience? Or how intimate gatherings and memory triggers like photo albums can keep loved ones with dementia engaged and connected? With a touch of humor and plenty of heart, we reveal how families can not only preserve but also evolve their cherished customs to be more inclusive and stress-free. Join us for some laughs, some wisdom, and a whole lot of love as we help you prepare for a holiday celebration that everyone can enjoy.

Thanks for listening!
