Meaningful Gifts for Seniors to Take to Assisted Living Facilities People who live in an assisted living community can often fall victim to boredom and loneliness. During a pandemic lockdown, they cannot receive visitors like family members and friends. They also cannot leave the assisted living facility to go shopping or visit the library.
When you have a loved one who is in lockdown at one of these facilities, you want to cheer up him or her as much as possible. These gift ideas are some to bring to your loved one’s assisted living community today.
Activity Books
Senior citizens crave something to do during the day. When you want to keep your loved one from growing bored or lonely, you can bring activity books for him or her to work on each day.
The books contain puzzles, word searches, and even pages to color. You can make them more enjoyable by pairing the books with a box of colored pencils, markers, or crayons for your loved one to use.
Smart Devices
Your loved one can also benefit from having access to a smart device of his or her own. A device like a smartphone or a computer tablet can give your relative access to email and video messaging. You can chat with your relative each day to keep him or her happy.
These gift ideas are some to bring to a relative on lockdown at an assisted living community. Contact The Chelsea at East Brunswick, 606 Cranbury Road, East Brunswick, NJ 08816, (732) 651-6100.
