Help with caregiver thank you after passing of Mom
My Mom passed away at her memory care facility recently. It was a great place, and she was in good care. I had a casual lunch for 1st and 2nd shift staff. 3rd shift snacks and drinks were provided. I spent $500. My question is there are 2 wonderful caregivers who spent the most time with my mom. They work 5 days (full time) and she was there for 3 years. They got to know her very well. I have written thank you cards and also sent a card to the director praising them both as individuals and excellent caregivers. Should I give them a monetary gift? I don't want to do gift cards because I feel cash goes a longer way and they can use however they choose. Given that I've already spent $500, how much do you suggest for each? I also want to give a bit more to one because we had a much closer connection. I would have to give to them quietly because the facility doesn't allow gifts, etc. Thank you for suggestions.
