Any ideas on what to or how we show gratitude the staff of my Mom's Assisted living facility so they All know we appreciate what they do all year long? I know her normal Aides, but the facility frowns on gifting only individuals.
I am just at a loss for what we could get or send them so that at least Most of them will receive or at least know we tried to gift them all and something that doesn't cost hundreds of dollars.
Due to the different shifts it is impossible to send something they would all get with out doing 3 deferent gifts.. I thought having Pizza delivered but only the people working would benefit from that..
Any suggestion would be helpful.
Thanks
Good of you to think about the staff. I think anything from baked goods, boxes of chocolates, cookies or other holiday treats, or fresh flowers for the staff room or a simple thank you card expressing your appreciation will be noted. When my dad left his rehab facility I had brought in boxes of chocolates to be left in the staff room and personalized thank you notes for some of the ladies that were especially kind to him.
No matter what you decide, I'm sure it will be appreciated. Good of you get into the holiday spirit.

For the NH, we brought lots of baked goods and I think my brother and SIL replaced the fridge in the employee break room. I'd ask the SW or administrator what the best thing might be.
Sorrynotsorry, the place was over flowing with plants last year .. but nice idea
BarbBrooklyn, that is the account I heard about at her facility, but I haven't gotten anything official from them yet in regards to it.
Thanks all for the suggestions
They also suggested that bagels, catered sandwiches or soup salad, etc could be arranged. Director said they would divide up goodies to make sure first and second/ third shifts got equal shares.
Also there is a caregiver non profit for our facility where everyone donates what they can $100-1000 and they pool the money and then give a nice party and small gifts for all the caregiver, janitorial, cook staff. I donated to that.
