The decision to place a loved one in a senior's facility or for seniors who decide to stay in their home as long as possible can be difficult for the senior and the other family members.
Sometimes, there's a need for comfort from home to be with them, while you or others cannot be with them full time. Just to share, some facilities may restrict certain items for their own reasons. However, when there's an opportunity to give, it's nice to be able to provide the warmth that your gift can make.

I was wondering where would I send any projects I can make for the seniors?
Nancy Windle says
Another item not mentioned for the Crochet Senior Project are shawls. I have worked many years with the elderly and know that they are often chilly. Many are sensitive to the breezes from fans and air conditioners and will complain they are cold. A sweater might be too hot if the temperature is warm, but a shawl is just enough covering to take the chill off. Shawls and ponchos are also great for those who do not have enough range of motion to be able to put on a sweater

Jeannie, what about twiddle muffs/mats? I work reception at a senior facility. All levels..memory, skilled care, rehab..I've made a mat, asked the resident's sister if it would be appropriate..she loved it..also a muff another family member took down to the unit.
Bought the instruction book(s) from Annie's bought the sewn ones too. Great stash busting projects.
