Are you looking for a Father’s Day gift for your dad or grandpa who lives in a long-term care facility? My parents lived in a nursing home at one time and so did my grandpa. So I know how challenging it can be to find gifts that are useful and enjoyable. I hope you’ll see lots of helpful ideas in today’s post.

 

Retro Pocket Watch

These watches were popular decades ago, and now they’re making a comeback. I gave a similar one to a friend last year, and he uses it all the time.

 

Grandfather’s Journal

My dad loved to tell stories. I wish I could have given him a journal like this to record memories for his grandkids.

 

Beard Care Kit

Here’s the perfect gift for a man who’s proud of his beard.

 

Eyeglass Holder

I think this eyeglass holder is adorable! Plus, it keeps eyeglasses safe and easy to find.

Window Bird Feeder

Quite a few of our residents have window bird feeders, and they provide hours of entertainment.

 

Willow Tree Grandfather

I think this would be a lovely gift to let your dad know he’s about to become a grandfather. There’s a grandmother version, too.

 

Little Critter Books

This is a fun series of books to share with grandchildren when they come to visit. My kids loved Little Critter books when they were growing up.

 

Roll-up Puzzle Mat

This is a must-have for anyone who enjoys doing larger jigsaw puzzles.

 

Noise Cancelling Headphones

These high-quality headphones allow Grandpa to listen to music or TV without disturbing other residents.

 

23andMe DNA Kit

I bought this for myself last year, and I’m having so much fun with it. I think it would make a perfect gift for someone who wants to learn more about their ancestry.

 

Echo Dot: 3rd Generation

The Echo Dot can help Grandpa in so many ways such as reporting the weather, answering questions, reading the news, and playing music.

Of course, the best gift of all is the gift of time. Thank you for visiting a nursing home resident on Father’s Day!
