Pay A Christmas Visit To Nursing Homes
For most North Carolinians
the holiday season is a time for
love and sharing with family and
friends.
Many older citizens are not so -
fortunate. They no longer have a
family or a home. Instead they
live in nursing homes and rest
homes across the state.
Nursing home administrators
say today’s patients are older and
more disabled than ever before.
Most are not able to leave nurs-
ing facilities for a Christmas with
family, even if they have a fami-
ly close by.
“December, January and
‘February are lonely months,”
said Anne Hutchinson, ad-
~~ minstrator of the Louisburg
Nursing Home. “Our residents
could use some of the Christma
cheer then.” :
Ernest Messer, assistant
secretary of the Division of Ag-
ing, encouraged North Caroli-
nians to share a little of their
time during the holiday season
with those who are confined to.
nursing homes and rest homes
across the state. “Older people
with no relatives close by are so
appreciative of time and atten-
tion,” he said.
Nursing home and rest home
professionals agree. To Hutchin-
son, the saddest person of all is
the one who has no family. She
remembers an elderly lady, now
dead, who one year received gifts
from the nursing home staff but
refused to open them. “She
wouldn’t open them because she
said the gifts could not be hers
since she had no living relatives,”
Hutchinson explained.
Madlyn Jamison, activity
director at Knollwood Manor in
Raleigh, encouraged citizens to
visit nursing homes and rest
homes, and to get actively in-
volved with residents. “One
church group gives manicures
during the holidays,” she said.
“The residents love this special
attention. They need a hands-on
project, not just to be surround-
ed by a large group of people.”
Knollwood has a Christmas
party for which many groups
donate gifts, Jamison said. She
suggested that persons who wish
to give gifts to residents of
facilities in their area donate lap
robes, white knee hose for men
and women, cushions for
wheelchairs, stamps and sta-
tionary. Since many residents
are on special diets, gifts of food

should be limited, she said.
“The most important thing,
though, is to take a little time out
of your schedule to pay a visit,”
Messer said. “Bring an older per-
son into your life, and you will
see that you benefit from the ex-
perience as much as he or she
does.”
