For many residents, a retirement home can seem unfamiliar and new, especially for those who’ve moved from a house they’ve lived in for decades. At Sorrento, we aim to create a comfortable and welcoming environment all year long, especially during the winter months. With the holidays just around the corner, here are a few gift ideas to help ease your loved one’s transition into their new suite and make the cooler months just a little warmer.
A daylight lamp, like the Hatch Restore 2, comes at a pretty penny but will mimic the rise and fall of the sun, which is a nice touch during the darker winter months. You can also opt for something like the Adesso Oslo Floor Lamp, which is lightweight and easy to maneuver.

This extra-large throw blanket from L.L. Bean will be a comfortable addition to the winter season. And for a little extra warmth, heated blankets like the Brookstone Heated Luxe Faux Fur Throw are safe and easy to use.
If your loved one has always been a candle person, you could opt for a vintage candle warmer. Candle warmers are a great way to get the scent of a candle without the risk of an open flame. For other scent options, you could purchase an Essential Oils Diffuser for therapeutic scents.

An Aura “Carver 10’” digital picture frame is a great way to put your family photos and memories on display. Plus, it can be updated remotely.
If you’re going to be gifting ahead or your loved one likes to enjoy the holiday decor into the new year, we suggest a table-top tree, like this 24-inch Majestic Fir, or a four-foot faux spruce tree for larger suites. Get it as an early gift and help them set it up.
A durable and textured shower mat can prevent slips. You could also get an Ezpik Grabber Reacher Tool to make it a little easier to grab things off the floor or their shelves.
And if your loved one hasn’t moved here yet, a suite at Sorrento could be the perfect gift for the holidays. Contact us to begin the conversation or start with a virtual tour.
