​Gifts for Those You Love | Best Senior Living Wichita KS

2/1/2022

0 Comments

 
There are traditional times to give gifts, at holidays or on birthdays, but who doesn't love a surprise gift? What better time is there to treat your loved one to special attention than in the cold months of winter, after the holiday spirit is packed away?
 
Giving things to people in health facilities or small apartments does require extra thought and care. Keep these things in mind when choosing a gift for your special person.

  • Space may be limited. Most senior facilities don't have much extra room for display or collections, and if your loved one already has keepsakes, they're probably occupying the spots of honor. Whatever you give, don't add needless clutter.
 
  • The facility itself might have limitations. Check with someone in charge before selecting things like candles, throw rugs or gifts of food. The receiver's special health needs or conditions make a difference, too.
 
  • If many people enter your loved one's room, they may feel anxious about having breakable or costly items around. Even with care and security, accidents can happen.
 
  • Some things could use replacements. Lotions can dry up, socks get lost, game pieces go missing. Maybe they have finished a book you brought another time. Keep an eye on things that your relative already has to see if they should be replaced or refreshed. 
 
Most people, if asked, will say, "I don't need a thing," but who doesn't like getting a new puzzle book or deck of cards, seasonal-flavored lip balm, or fresh pens to write a quick thank you note? A warm afghan or stocking cap can provide comfort and color. If chosen with love and some forethought, a gift delivered personally by you will be the best gift of all.
