What to Get Grandma or Grandpa for the Holidays ... and Why Comfy Slippers Aren't on the List


LOS ANGELES, Nov. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Selecting presents for elderly friends and relatives isn't easy and so it may be tempting to go with objects of comfort such as fuzzy slippers, big boxes of candy and the like. But as holistic health practitioner Linda Mac Dougall will tell you, it pays to be safe when it comes to satisfying the needs of this special population.

For example, Mac Dougall will say that you should pass on gifting a new pair of slippers ? even though many grandmas and grandpas love to wear this comfortable footwear ? unless you purchase an orthotic pair that will provide them with support and prevent falls.

Mac Dougall has worked with hundreds of patients who have opened her eyes to the unmet needs of older Americans. And at 73, she knows a thing or two about aging bodies from personal experience.

In an interview, Mac Dougall can discuss the most impactful and safest presents you can get an older relative including ways to keep them happy and active, well-nourished, entertained, and included in family outings.

She can also reveal:

She is the author of the book, The SPIRIT Method of Massage for Seniors: Raising the Bar

I love that clear fact that the author knows her field well, has a world of experience, and filters that all through her heart, as she brings it onto the page for me to consume. Absolutely recommend getting this book! Thanks to the author for this gift of knowledge!" ? Dale Sims, CEO and lead trainer at Self Enrichment Academy
