Things to Remember this Halloween
Halloween can be especially exciting for young children who enjoy dressing up in fun and spooky costumes while bouncing off the walls amidst a sugar rush however, it may not be as fun for your elderly neighbors. As this Halloween quickly approaches, it is important to remember that showing up at an elderly neighbors house dressed in costume and in a loud frenzy may cause anxiety for some, especially those seniors with limited mobility.
