Christmas gifts for residents

Specialties Geriatric

Published

Our facility is doing a program where each staff picks a resident to buy a Christmas gift for. I LOVE this idea :heartbeat, but am at a loss as to what to give my resident :confused:. She is 90+, half blind and half deaf... Any ideas???

body wash, Soft comfy socks or slippers (with non skid grip of course), lotion, scarf of shawl, or If the resident doesn't have much clothes a nice comfy outfit or pjs :)

I know this is late late... but a SNUGGIE is the perfect gift for residents. Especially those in wheelchairs. It is a blanket with sleeves and you know they are always cold, but now they can be warm, it can be removed easily,and they can use their arms. These things are great. I don't know about many times I have been pushing a resident and lost the lap blanket to the wheels and its fallen off or gotten stuck. Putting extra sweaters on is cumbersome and hard to do with some of the folks.
