I'd like to thank my dad's carers this week, but with varying shifts and staffing, I am worried if I do individual gifts folks will be left out. I would prefer to give more personal individual gifts to the nurses, CNAs, and therapist I know, but am worried I might leave someone out.
I think you can’t go wrong with food.
I have taken Subway sandwich party platters (and pizza) to the LTC facility for Nurses Week. I made sure that all three nursing shifts had a platter set aside for them with more sandwiches on the day shift platter since there are more people working the day shift. All three platters were labeled for the appropriate shift. If you take one platter of food, then it is usually gone before the evening or night staff arrive for work. I had the pizza delivered before noon for the dayshift and delivered after 9 PM for the evening and night shift. A box or basket of snack size candy bars are also appreciated.
So often caregivers are not thanked for all that they do to make a loved one's (and your) life more comfortable. Thank you for thinking of showing your appreciation to your Dad's care givers.
