Tip for Loved Ones in a Care Facility


If your loved one is in a care facility, place a bowl or a jar of candy in the room.  Staff will visit more often.

  1. Other suggestions. Visit on different days and different times, so that staff don't know when to expect you. Put up pictures of your loved one when they were younger - wedding photos, holding children, etc. It helps staff see your loved one as a real person, not just a bed number.

  2. I love these ideas, Niki, especially the photos from different times in the elder's life.
