Elderly people have less freedom of movement and reduced stamina. Thus, it would be hard for them to put on complicated costumes and enjoy the celebration. However, it does not mean that they should not dress up for Halloween. Many of the Tyler centers for senior living near me celebrate and encourage their residents to participate for a fun activity and a great time to socialize.
Here are a few great senior friendly Halloween costume ideas:
- Star Trek Character
Captain Picard or Dr. Deanna Troi? What is your elderly loved one’s favorite Star Trek character? Whichever it is, one thing is for sure: the costumes for this show are easy to put on, wear and then take off. And you can find them in specialized stores in every size you want.
- Rosie the Riveter
The World War II icon for women helping with the war effort is a reality for seniors. They were young people when this character appeared in posters and she motivated them during difficult times. Plus, the costume for this character is very simple: a blue shirt and a red bandana with white dots.
- Star Wars Characters
The cult Sci-Fi franchise has memorable characters – and simple costumes. Senior couples can don white gowns and pose as Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. A little green facial paint and a brown hooded long coat and here comes Master Yoda. Imagination is the limit when it comes to bringing Star Wars characters to life for Halloween.
