Depending on their health, independence, and cognitive state, senior citizens may feel more comfortable in a familiar setting. This would save your elderly honoree the stress of getting to another location for his or her party. It may be preferable in certain cases, and may be frowned upon in others. Plan to visit beforehand to lend a hand with cleaning, decorating, and preparing for the party. Do not leave this for the guest of honor to do! While this is still a change of scenery for your honored guest, it may be more comfortable and intimate than planning a larger get-together at a public venue. A favorite restaurant can be a familiar place that still provides the social and celebratory atmosphere that your nonagenarian may desire. Consider booking a private room. This is a way to make a regular restaurant reservation into a more luxe experience! Depending on the unique personality and interests of your guest of honor, there are many creative venues to hold a fantastic party. If it's going to be a summer event, consider an outdoor location such as a beach or a park. Consider renting a boat and hosting a party on the water for any sea-lovers. Plan a gathering in multiple venues, such as a pre-theatre dinner at a local restaurant and then a walk over to see a theatre performance.

Summary:
Ask the honoree if s/he would rather go out, or stay in. Host the party at the home of the guest of honor. Hold the party at the home of a family member. Book a favorite restaurant. Consider a creative alternative option.
