The most cherished gift, however, is a visit from you. If the resident is able, you might offer to take him or her out for an evening ride to enjoy the holiday lights along with a hot cup of cocoa. And one last idea: make it a New Year’s resolution to volunteer at your local nursing home or assisted living facility. A friendly visit to a resident without family is a gift that will make you all the richer for it.
