Boise Assisted Living Homes Invite Kids to Trick-Or-Treat With Their Residents

Last week, I saw a photo of a couple living at an assisted home sitting in front of mounds of candy holding a signs that read "We Need Trick-Or-Treaters!"

It linked back to an article from Romper that asked parents to consider taking their children trick-or-treating at assisted living and retirement homes on Halloween.  Why? The experience is mutually beneficial for everyone involved! Your kids get to put on their costumes and collect a huge pile of candy and the residents get to interact with trick-or-treaters, something many of them haven't done since their grandchildren were young.  Having little ones stop by in their Halloween costume really lifts their spirits, especially if they're a resident who doesn't have friends or family members who are able to visit often.

Apparently, I wasn't the only who saw the article! A member of the Boise Bench Dweller's Facebook group shared this list of retirement, nursing and assisted living homes in the Boise area inviting kids to stop by and visit for Halloween. If you know that your kids are going to whine about tonight's cold temperatures and don't want to add layers to their costumes, this is a great indoor alternative to Trick-Or-Treating!
