Keeping Spirits Bright: Inclusive Christmas Activities for Every Ability

The Christmas season is a special time for connection, joy, and creativity - and in aged care communities, it’s often celebrated with crafts, carols, and shared moments. Whether residents are spending the day with family, friends, or their care community, having activities that include everyone helps make the season feel bright.

We’ve rounded up some of our favourite festive products to help keep minds active, spirits lifted, and everyone feeling part of the fun.
