NURSING HOME GIFTS Having been a nurse in nursing homes for the past 16 years, I have some hints for people taking gifts for nursing home residents. Always be sure that any gifts have the recipient’s name written on them with permanent markers. Clothing gifts should be in light colors so the patient’s name can be marked and seen clearly. Clothes that are not marked usually get lost during laundering. Expensive perfumes and gifts should be avoided since they can easily be taken from the nursing home. Violet W., Eugene, Ore.
