Hi all,
The official AL residents handbook specifies "no tipping" of the AL staff. However, I would assume that simple gifts of a reasonably low value are acceptable? What are good ideas for gifts for the 1) general caretaker staff 2) key staff and managers involved with my dad?
I suppose since its still "sort of" COVID times, I should ask them if its going to be a shared food item I bring in?
Most ALF have a fund you can contribute to as well, but make the mistake of suggesting amounts, which generally ends up simply offending folks.
I also try and bring treats in once a month.
My mother is not easy AT ALL to care for, so I try and do something nice for the staff. I want them to know that I appreciate their efforts.
Subs, pizza, pop, cookies.
Healthcare workers are constantly washing their hands so quality hand lotion is always a good choice too.
Any kind of delicious food should be fine.
