Nursing home patients should be remembered at Christmas just as anyone else on your list. To take away the guesswork, some clothing items that can be given to patients include hats, slippers, shawls, robes, and pajamas. Technology options include iPods preloaded with music, or iPads with a Netflix subscription. Snacks that patients can enjoy may include nuts, crackers, dried fruits, and pretzels.
For those who like to keep in touch with friends and family, cards with stamps for mailing and nice pens also make a nice gift inclusion. The main thing is to remember those who are in a nursing home and may not have visitors or family nearby and would benefit from a visit and a Christmas gift, or two. For more, read the story.
