My quilt guild has made 3 quilts to be used for removals. They were appr. 87" long x 58" wide. You have to make sure it will be long enough and wide enough and if it's too long or wide they can just fold it over if need be. The first one was just a scrappy nine patch and snowball pattern, we used darker more traditional fabrics with the main snowball being tan.

My Mom is in a NH right now & I have wanted to make 2 for that Home, 1 for guys & 1 for ladies, using up my orphan blocks. Of course, the NH home keeps it & reuses it. Don't know off hand the dimensions.
