Senior Citizens Living In Assisted-Homes Party Up And Get Temporary Tattoos During Lockdown

The pandemic-induced lockdown made a lot of us try things we never did before - from having virtual birthday celebrations, to staying at home for weeks on end.

While a lot of us managed to get home to our families, there were several people who couldn't; the lockdown and the subsequent restrictions have been much harder on them. For instance, senior citizens who are living in assisted-homes were far away from their families.

Also, since they are the ones who are at the highest risk of catching the contagious COVID-19, they have to be extra careful. People who work in such homes also need to ensure that the residents are comfortable and in good health - both mentally and physically.

To brighten up the mood in one such home in the US, staff members of Wesley House Assisted Living in Hillsboro, Texas, came up with a creative way to keep their senior residents entertained.

The home's official Facebook page shared pictures of the residents getting drunk and trying out temporary tattoos. Needless to say, they seem like to be having a wonderful time - much needed break from all the despair and gloom abound.

Even netizens loved the spirit and suggested that such activities need to be carried out in all old-age homes, to keep the residents happy during this upsetting time.

The resident took turns to enter the dining area and the tattoo station. The staff maintained a constant watch over them and also disinfected all the tables and chairs.

"All of our employees help during activities, so that makes residents more open to participating as well. We are trying to keep their lives as normal as possible during this difficult time for them," staff from the faculty said.
