little things they can treasure are best i think just things from the pound shop? sorry your not in the uk but you know the store
things they can keep in their rooms
I really think this is wonderful of you…In the past I have worked at several Nursing Homes as a RN….Alot of the residents have depression, so its really hard to get them interested in anything….the thing is, don’t give up on them…go and get them in their room and bring them to bingo…some are just very shy…good prizes are: plants for their rooms, lotions, soaps, shampoos anything that smells nice…go to the dollar store, they have alot of stuff that doesn’t cost alot…the main thing is don’t give up on them…one week they won’t go and the next they are more than ready…God Bless you
Sweetie…you are a wonderful person for doing this….
You are an angel. Slippers ( one size fits all scuffs) body lotion, candy, book or magazine, phone card,brush or comb stationery and stamps, small clock . Maybe let them choose one from large basket?

I would go to the dollar store and get some cute gifts. Coffee cups, flower pots, corssword puzzles, etc.
I am a geriatric nurse. The activities people give our residents little bags of chips or homemade cookies as prizes. Bingo is always a full house.
