It’s been a few months since our family made the decision to move my father-in-law into an assisted living facility. Making the move was a hard choice but we couldn’t be more pleased with his care. He spends his days having coffee and playing Bingo with his new found friends.

Spending time with Grandaddy at the holidays is important to us. Our family is planning on taking him a care package on our next visit. We will also deliver small Door Knob Treats for the other residents at the assisted living facility. These small random acts of kindness will bring a smile to their faces and cheer to our children’s hearts.

Before the visit we need to gather items for Grandaddy’s care package. Each of us sat down to brainstorm a list of supplies that would be useful and fun. Below is a list of elderly gift basket ideas we came up with.
