Keep them busy
If it's too cold to step out, try and encourage your loved one to get reading a book you can both chat about (even on the phone) or to watch some movies or TV series. There are senior centers that offer a library delivery service, and your local church might have a program to visit the housebound. You could also look online to see if there's something your loved one can do from the comfort of their own home.
