The nursing home that my mom was in had a number for each patient and that number was put on everything that belonged to them, no matter what it was. That way it was easy to keep up with their things.

I want to throw in a plug for the teddy bears - I got one for my mom after my dad died, she said it was the best thing I ever gave her - gave her hours and hours of comfort and a feeling of security. Who knew? Teddy bears, not just for kids anymore!!

Some like to have something distictive to hang on the door to their room. All the doors look alike, so having something to give them a bit of an individual look as well as a good subtle hint for those who occasionally need help with which door is the right door. Something a simple as a door knob hanger !
Tissue box covers in bright colors so they can find the box without their glasses. ( do find out what brand and box size is used)

My guild made Christmas placemats for the clients that got meals on wheels. They were so thrilled to get one. We had over 100 to make. I am sure it would decorate up their tables at Christmas
