This Mother’s Day let’s take a moment to show our appreciation for the woman who’s given us so much. If your mom is in Arbor Village Nursing & Rehabilitation, there are many ways to make her feel cherished, even from afar. Here are some heartfelt ideas that go beyond traditional gifts.

Make the Visit Extra Special

If you can visit in person, focus on moments that bring warmth and connection.

• Read Her Favorite Stories – Reading aloud creates a cozy atmosphere, whether it’s an old novel or family letters.
• Bring a Familiar Taste – While dietary restrictions vary, a small, approved treat can bring back cherished memories.
• Hold Her Hands – A gentle hand massage or simply holding hands can communicate love in a powerful way.

Celebrating from Afar with Thoughtful Gestures

If you can’t be there in person, there are still many ways to make her feel loved:

• A Video Message from Family – Compile clips from relatives sharing their love and well wishes.
• A Virtual Story Time – Read her a story over a video call, making the moment feel close and personal.
• A Surprise Delivery – Send flowers or a framed family photo to brighten her space.

At the heart of Mother’s Day is love, and love can be felt in even the smallest of gestures. Whether in person or from a distance, making your mom feel special is what truly matters.
