Train your dog, it's worth it!
My Grandma loved receiving a Christmas flowers, delivered by the florist.

It gave her something to look at and admire, some reminiscences about her beautiful and much loved garden, and it also gave the entire ward something to gossip about for days - possibly weeks. They were a smash hit.

Digital photo frames are a good idea - take up little space but allow person to see many varied photos.


Of course you would probably need to load photos in before giving it to a nursing home resident.

A necklace. A nice bright one that is long so opening a clasp isn't necessary, it just slips over the head.
