Birthdays

    Are you ever at a loss as to what to get an elderly person for their birthday? No doubt they have everything they need. But, it is always nice to open a present on a special occasion.

    The staff at Algonquin have put together a list of suggestions to assist you in choosing a gift for your relative. These ideas might help you solve the problem. Whatever you choose should have the person’s name on it before you bring it to the home.

    The list includes toiletries (no powders), greeting cards or drawings made by a grandchild, costume jewellery for the ladies or monogrammed belt buckles for the men, washable housecoats or sweaters, no-slip slippers, framed photos of a family member or a favorite place and blankets or comforters to help personalize their room. Fancy candies, cookies, nuts or cheese can also be given, but they must be stored in tins and first brought to the charge nurse for approval.

    But remember, the best gift of all is a visit from you!! It makes Algonquin “A Place Called Home”.
