Thanks for the wonderful suggestion.
My mom often remarked her back would be cold so I'll make some shoulder wraps in her memory. There are a lot of flannel prints out now for men and women.
The idea for a personal visit is a great one. While visiting I can place the patient's name on the quilt label or hand embroider it.
Note: There may be some residents with IVs.
www.QuiltsForKids.com says to stitch in the ditch and to cut all loose threads. You can go over it with a strong magnet to make sure all pins have been removed.
