Gift to Staff
15 Answers
My husband's uncle recently passed away in a nursing home where he received exceptionally good care from all the staff and we would like to give them something as a token of our appreciation but have no idea what would be a fitting gift. Any suggestions? TIA

That's a lovely thought! Meal might be difficult to organise if staff are working shifts over a 24 hour period so always some of them working.
Definitely a letter or a card - lovely for them to be able to keep that and put it up somewhere so they can all read it.
Maybe something decorative (quite neutrally so) which could have a brief inscription relating to the wonderful job they've done as carers or something like that, maybe a clock for a staffroom if they have one?

maybe individual gift vouchers...such as £10-20 each or whatver you choose, that way each person gets the reward they would like, some ... as someone else mentioned a joint meal for the entire staff would be very hard to plan and some may not really want to go on a massive works meal, some may miss it, some may feel left out etc...
you could always treat them with a selection of cakes in a hamper to share?
how about something like a new coffee machine for the staff room or something like that...?

I'd given something more lasting than cakes, someone is bound to be on a day off or leave.... I like joko's idea, but you'd need to ask them what they need, not just guess. A letter to the local paper expressing public appreciation is nice too, homes often get a lot of bad press so this would show the other side of the coin.
I am so glad your husbands uncle was well looked after in the nursing home april 1693.
I work in a home, in fact have recently changed homes and it's lovely when families appreciate the care staff give.
The cards we have had from families mean more than any gifts,however it is lovely that you are going to so much trouble on here finding out what is best to donate.
Due to past experience I know money donated does not always go to staff kitty for a meal etc it can slip into residents amenity funds so I would suggest
a few boxes of chocolates or biscuits and say to the matron could she distribute them for each shift.
I think if you were to donate to each member of staff a sum of money it would become costly, but a letter of thanks to the local paper would be great publicity for the home which is what good homes need
Your husbands uncle is lucky to have had such considerate relatives as yourselves.
