Ring In The Green With Some Great St. Patrick’s Day Decorations For Elderly Loved Ones

Ah, St. Patrick’s Day is a great holiday to have some fun with your favorite senior citizen. After all, it is a day to wear green so a green throw or a green wrap seem to fit the bill.

Decorate a room, the house, or the yard with St. Patrick’s Day decorations and welcome the leprechauns into the house on this fun holiday.

It’s so easy to enrich the lives of those in retirement or nursing homes simply by putting up some window clings like those above. Window clings are available for most holidays – there is no glue to use, they simply cling to the window. Removing them is as easy as peeling them off the window.

And, how about picking up some St. Patty’s Day beach balls and giving them to a nursing home in your area. It’s great fun for our elderly loved ones to toss around a beach ball and it’s good exercise too. See below for many more ideas!

Green Shawls and Throws

My Mom was almost always cold so I used to wrap her in soft throws or shawls. These light wraps were just warm enough to take the chill off. And, we must have had 10 of these shawls so she always had a matching one for an outfit. Why not pick up a green shawl for a nice gift for your elderly loved one for St. Patrick’s Day?

Turn Your Favorite Senior Citizen Into A Leprechaun!

These leprechaun hats and shoes are a fun way to get your elderly friend into the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day. They’re sure to be the talk of the town when donning these green hats. The leprechaun shoes are to be carefully monitored – make sure that your elderly loved one doesn’t try to walk in them!

Welcome in a Lepechaun to Your House With These Great St. Patrick Day Decorations

Here in Maryland, St. Patrick’s Day celebrations usually involve some sort of corned beef served along with a stein of cold green beer. But, that’s about it. We rarely see St. Patrick’s decorations lining yards like Christmas inflatables do during the season. And, I for one am on a quest to change that.

These St. Patrick’s Day inflatables would be adorable on the lawn of your favorite senior citizen’s home. Nearby senior citizen centers or nursing homes would probably love these too.

St. Patrick’s Day Magnets and Picture Frames

Taking the scrapbook model to the wall, these wonderful magnets come in all shapes, sizes, and holiday themes. I love the shamrocks especially for a nice present for St. Patrick’s Day. You can use any metal object to create your story or use the nice frame as a back drop. Add in a few pics of the kids and you’ve created a holiday for your favorite senior citizen to remember.

Garden (or Room) Flags

I used to tack these little garden flags up inside the house for holidays as decorations. Mom loved them. I’ve even used them as placemats before! Garden flags are a fun way to bring St. Patrick’s right to your senior loved one’s house.

Irish Soda Bread

How about mixing up a loaf of Irish soda bread for your elderly loved one? Irish soda bread is so easy to make and is the best complement to a corned beef and cabbage dinner (note: beware of giving senior citizen cabbage! I learned my lesson….).

Window Decorations For St. Patrick’s Day

A few of these cute clover lights would be adorable in the home of a senior citizen who is a St. Patrick’s Day fan. These window decorations go up very easily and, more importantly, peel right off the window. Turn a drab rehab or nursing home room into a St. Patrick’s day celebration.
