They are machine washable quilts that has whatever pictures you choose printed into the fabric. A throw sized quilt is perfect for people in nursing homes, and reasonably priced. I think it takes something like 24 photos. I got mine at http://www.portraitquilts.com The quality is amazing!

However, as she aged, her hands were very shaky. I found that she really enjoyed those velvet posters that come with a small package of colored markers to "paint" the poster. The velvet hides any shaking (out of the lines) marks. As there were only about 4 or 5 markers, I always bought a larger package of markers too. Also, a favorite lotion or perfume would be appreciated. When lying in bed, it is nice to smell good.

My mom loves to pull out her anniversary book and look through it. She has no more wall space, but does treasure the photos.

Or hire a massage therapist to come in to her and give her a shoulder, neck and head massage - she will love it! Good Luck!

A lot of nursing homes have bingo games, or other special entertainment that she would love to have company to do things with.

Each of us had our own time on the tape, and talked and laughed about just about everything. Toward the end of the tape, we talked to each other about what a wonderful mom we had. She listened to that tape for months, and it gave her much pleasure. The workers at the nursing home though it was great for her.

Then she can send birthday cards, sympathy cards, etc. Also, if she likes to read a magazine subscription would be nice. If she is unable to read you may wish to check on talking books.
