We thought of flowers or a gift certificate large enough to buy pizza for three shifts but also thought that we can't be the first family that has ever wanted to express its gratitude in a tangible way. We would prefer not to make a charitable contribution in the name of the facility. Barb Dear Barb, As I'm sure you know, staff members are not allowed to accept gifts from patients or family members on an individual basis. I would suggest putting a candy dish at each nurses station with your family name on it and each time a family member visits you could fill it up. I know the staff will enjoy that.
Pizza party is a good idea too, but candy dish is something that is ongoing.
