Hi Fiona, thank you for you input. Giving gifts on admission depends on the facility's management. I think it is a great idea. However I have not experienced it, the places I worked for had usually a 'get-together' to introduce the new resident to a few people. Nice china cups, petit fours, a choice of teas, and cakes. Of course had we added a small gift it would have been even better.

Thanks Solange. loving this site and getting lots of great ideas
Hi Fiona, I arrange a ;'Welcome pack' for all new residents: a plastic small basket with shampoo,conditioner, a nice plastic cup, hand cream, a bar of soap, a nail set and a welcome card (made by a resident) -all wrapped. In the same time , fresh flowers in a vase in the room before arrival. Best wishes.
Golden Carers is just wonderful. An amazing resource shared all over the world. I use Golden carers on a daily basis and added with Pinterest, it just makes my job that little bit easier on those days when inspiration doesn't come easy. I love that there is always something new every time I look.
we have resident welcome gifts on admission. Do others have them? ours are tired and I need some new ideas. Hoping you can help..............
