Dear FIL is moving to a Nursing Hone next week for Palliative Care.

I seem to have brain freeze over what I could do for him to make the transition nicer for him.

I think yesterday there was an uncle moving into care - that's probably where the confusion comes from.

We took mum's favourite lamp and ornaments and her own duvet cover. I also encouraged the family to send her big photo cards - the bigger the better. Her eye sight is really poor so she loves the massive Moonpig cards and has them on display all around her bedroom.

I did think of posting yesterday and after you questioned it I had to go back and check that I hadn't.

Perhaps it's not your memory and you've developed a freaky new talent where you can "see" the posts before they've even been written?

Well you might have Kangaroo but it's not me who asked the question, unless my forgetfulness is getting concerning

Didn’t I answer this same question yesterday ?

A photograph album of family and friends? Likewise photos in frames to put around his room?

An I Pad (if he can use one) for Skype (video) calls to family and friends?

His favourite toiletries?

I send photo postcards (from Touchnote) to MIL when she is in hospital or step down care home, trying to send a photo of a different member of the family each time (and sometimes a small gift like biscuits or chocolates). We don’t live close enough to visit every day/week.
