Making the Holidays Brighter for Every Family Member
Episode 8
Tuesday, 4 November, 2025

The holidays can be joyful—but they can also be challenging, especially when celebrating with loved ones who have cognitive impairments. On this week’s episode of FOX Rehabilitation’s Live Better Longer podcast, we sit down with Elyse Gordon, MS, CCC-SLP, to discuss how families can make the season brighter and more inclusive for those living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s, or post-stroke challenges. From adjusting traditions and timing celebrations around the older adult’s schedule to choosing meaningful, appropriate gifts, this episode is filled with compassionate, practical advice. Learn how to lean into meaningful moments, create comfort, and ensure every family member—no matter their abilities—feels part of the celebration. Discover how to make this holiday season truly inclusive.
