Laughter can help improve the way someone feels inside. It can be one of the best ways to improve many mental health symptoms. Try talking with your elderly loved one about a funny old memory. From there, you can watch as they begin to feel better inside and out. If you can’t be there for them, have an elderly care provider watch a funny movie with your loved one.
