Family time is one of the highlights of festive seasons. It is the time of the year when family members of all ages gather under one roof, catching up over festive foods and drinks, loud conversations and roaring laughter, with children’s squeals as they play in the background. This is also a time when adult children who live away from their hometowns get to see their parents in person. What are the things to look out for in the seniors during the holiday season? Consultant geriatrician Dr Tan Maw Pin shares with us about dealing with the elderlies amidst festivities and how to make it the most wonderful time of the year for everyone.
