I had sent out this as part of one of my updates before the holidays, but I wanted to put in in here to so I had a place to send people for these links.
I always get a lot of emails regarding Nursing Home gifts and projects this time of year. I contacted Larry Wasserman over at http://www.faithfulfriends.org He has the best nursing home site on the net that I know of. Here are his suggestions and recommendations. Thanks to Larry and Sandy for sharing these with us!

I will say that if you have children either in your home or in your church that are musical, the people at the nursing homes will often have you in to play or sing. This is a great experience for the children and the ones living in the homes.
