I just renewed my membership. Couldn't be without the brilliant info and activities you supply to do my job with satisfaction. The resources are brilliant and made my job easier, more fun and so much more interesting. I work at a day centre for the elderly and they love all the ideas. Many thanks!

I am going with practical. Most of the residents dont need more trinkets or things. Think about what they need? Are they always cold? Maybe a warm pair of fuzzy socks or a soft fuzzy blanket?
Electronic photo frames are good too, if families ask! Amazon has them for around $40. Families can load up USB with family photos.
We have a home health agency that collects gifts from the community, they provide gifts for anyone who doesnt have family. I purchase gifts for the remainder of the residents.
Socks, sweat pants, sweaters, art kits, cd music, hair accessories, soft blankets, wall calendars with their interests (49ers football, nature, cats, dogs etc).
Great suggestions
We had several agencies donate gifts for the residents
It is a good PR for home health agencies and hospice to do this
