Making the decision to move a loved one into a nursing home is rarely straightforward. It often comes after months (sometimes years) of emotional, physical, and mental strain. Perhaps you’ve spent countless sleepless nights tending to your loved one, balancing their needs with work and family life, all while silently putting your own well-being on hold. You might be exhausted, overwhelmed, or even frustrated, and then feel guilty for having those emotions in the first place. These complex feelings can lead to a heavy burden known as caregiver guilt.

Thoughtful gifts such as hand cream or warm socks can add daily comfort. Most importantly, bring your time and attention. It is the most valuable gift of all.
