It’s not always easy to select an appropriate gift for a senior, or elderly loved one. Frontier Senior Living has put together a helpful list of 12 great gifts that your loved one will be sure to appreciate.
Comfort Gifts
Gifts that provide comfort, or contribute to your loved one’s overall wellness can be enjoyed all year long.
Cozy Clothing
Regardless of the season, comfortable, easy-to-wear clothing is always appreciated. Whether it’s a nice sweater, slippers, or a cotton t-shirt for the summertime, your loved one will think of you whenever they wear their new apparel.
Heated Accessories
Many seniors have circulation issues, and often feel cold. Giving your loved one an electric blanket for their bed, a throw blanket that can be used while sitting in a favorite chair, or even something fun like battery-powered, heated socks, your thoughtful gift will help them feel warmer during the colder months, and help soothe daily aches, and pains.
Entertainment & Hobbies
Gifts that help your loved one keep their mind sharp, while providing joy and entertainment are a great choice this Holiday season.
Puzzles & Games
There’s no shortage of the number of puzzles and games that can be enjoyed both alone, and with family members and friends. Ideas include large-print word searches, crossword puzzles, or board games that stimulate cognitive function.
Music & Audiobooks
Putting together a collection of your loved one’s favorite music will provide many hours of quality entertainment, and bring back cherished memories. Finding audiobooks they will be interested in is another great way to keep their minds active.
Technology & Gadgets
Many seniors enjoy using today’s technology-driven devices in their daily lives. There are many gadgets that make certain tasks easier, and enhance people’s independence.
Simple Electronics
Depending on your loved one’s level of technological savviness, there are many tablets and other devices that provide access to digital content, e-mail, and other forms of entertainment. Before purchasing such a product, do your best to assess how comfortable your loved one would be using it.
