10 Unique Gifts Someone In Assisted Living Will Love To Have

Give the gift that will turn into many memorable moments for you and anyone you know who is an assisted living resident. There are plenty of captivating books and a quirky rat that will help your special someone remember of you at all times through these fun gifts.

Our top pick is the AC cover, which turns a boring appliance into a cosy object, all to create a homey atmosphere in their assisted living facility.

#1 in Wall AC Front Cover (3-Layer) Decorative Air Conditioner Sleeve

As a New Yorker, my window air conditioner unit is a useless, drafty eyesore for more than half the year. One day I conceived the idea of not only insulating my apartment for the winter, but also dressing up this focal point. Our whimsical collection of premium quilted, three-layer insulated air conditioner covers for window units is designed to do just the same for your home!

Now assisted living residents can reclaim their window in colder months and express themselves with one of our fashion designs (like Army Camouflage, Stars & Stripes or even Disney Frozen)!

#3 You’re Only Old Once! by Dr. Seuss

I highly recommend this book for the elderly. I do have an idea that some of them would appreciate this book by Dr. Seuss, and might be a fan of his. Plenty of elderly people have a penchant for mischief with humor sometimes and this book nails it. Think of it as reliving the old days when going to the doctor was a bit of a chore, and yet when you’re into humor and loving the life you’re in, then I say this is one great book. Young and old alike love Dr. Seuss and this must be added in the small library in all assisted living homes.

It all started with a single stone on a beach in Cape Cod and now spans the globe.
