National Visit Your Relatives Day

National Visit a Relative Day is on the 18th of May : Sykes Stairlifts, Bringing Families Closer

National Visit a Relative Day is a special time across in the USA, and here at Sykes Stairlifts we think it would be great to adopt the idea here in the UK! Why not use it as a chance to connect with elderly relatives we might not see as often as we would like.

But why is this day important, and how can we make it meaningful?

This day reminds us to take a break from our busy lives and focus on our family ties. Family is important because they give us love, support, and a sense of belonging. By visiting relatives, especially elderly ones, we strengthen these bonds and create happy memories together.

Here are some simple ways to make the most of National Visit a Relative Day:

1. Plan a Visit: Contact those family members and arrange a visit. It could be a short visit for coffee or a longer one for a meal.
2. Share Stories: Talk about old times and share stories. It’s a great way to connect and remember special moments.
3. Start Traditions: Make National Visit a Relative Day a yearly tradition. You could plan a family outing or game night to keep the connection strong.
4. Say Thank You: Take a moment to appreciate your family. A simple thank you or a note can show how much you care.

National Visit a Relative Day is all about cherishing the people who mean the most to us. So, let’s take the time to reach out, spend time together, and celebrate family bonds.

Happy National Visit a Relative Day from all at Sykes Stairlifts!
