Easter is coming soon! You've bought the egg kits, made sure the kids all have Easter baskets, picked out outfits, planned the meal, maybe even decorated your home and yard. So what did you forget?
If you have an elderly loved one who lives in a nursing home, they would probably love to get an Easter basket too! After all, Easter is a family holiday for many, and they may feel isolated or lonely if forgotten in your rush to paint the world pastel and get those great Easter photos before the kids get dirty.
If you are super crafty and willing, why not assemble treat bags or baskets for all the residents? It is easy and fun to make small gifts, but the gesture could make someone smile for weeks.
Here are some tips and ideas for making personalized or neutral baskets for nursing home residents.

It doesn't matter how little or how much you do, just as long as you do something. Even a pot of silk flowers, a set of drawing pencils, or some new books will go a long way toward helping the elderly feel loved and remembered. And of course, don't forget to take them a nice plate for Easter lunch or dinner!
