While it might be difficult to find the perfect gift for someone who lives in an assisted living community, we’ve got you covered! Let us help you ditch the cliché tie and “#1 DAD” coffee mug for Father’s Day this year. We did some digging around and found some cool and unique gift ideas that your Dad will love!

Picture Perfect!

The best gift you can give Dad of course is you and his family and friends that he cherishes the most in his life! Having pictures of loved ones around reminds Dad of all the people who care about him. Mixtiles.com is a unique and fun way for Dad to display precious photo memories without hanging cumbersome frames. These simple 8×8 photo tiles can be moved around and rearranged to any location on the walls without causing damage.

Unique and Unusual (But useful nonetheless)

From the Easy-On Sock Aide to the PenAgain for those who struggle with arthritis, OddityMall.com has an entire line of gifts devoted to seniors. If Dad loves puzzles and nostalgia, he may also enjoy the Select Any Date custom newspaper jigsaw puzzle by simply choosing any date after 1888. Since you know your Dad best, you can browse through their virtual aisles for a plethora of ideas that may present you with the perfect gift for your precious Dad!

By the Book! 

Books are always a great gift. If your Dad is a self-proclaimed bookworm, but has trouble seeing well, you can always find his favorite book in large print. A yearly magazine subscription also makes an excellent gift! Many magazines offer large print options as well. If physically reading is off the table, but you want to give the Dad the book experience, don’t forget about Audiobooks! If you’re tech-savvy, try turning an old smartphone or tablet into an audio player and download audiobooks for Dad to play on demand with ease!

The Gift that Keeps on Giving!

Who doesn’t love getting a special delivery! Seeing a package in your name brings such joy, and subscription boxes do just that! Over the past few years, subscription boxes have become very popular. A subscription box offers a recurring delivery of niche consumer products that is designed to give the receiver a unique experience. Grandbox is the gift that keeps on giving! Grandbox comes with a mixture  of senior-friendly products from snacks to stationery and you can also personalize each new subscription box with photos and letters as well! Dad will be sure to look forward to his monthly delivery of goodies from you!

Remember, the best you can give Dad on Father’s Day, no matter where he lives, is the gift of your time! Pay your Dad a visit this Sunday, plan a fun day with the family, and don’t forget to tell him how much he’s loved and appreciated.
