Senior living

Flowers for someone in a nursing home or senior living

A small bouquet can be the bright spot in a resident's week. Call and give the florist the community name, the resident's name and the room.

Muskogee Flowers is a free referral line. Your order is taken, arranged and delivered by an independent local florist.

What works for residents

Muskogee has several nursing homes, assisted living and senior apartment communities. We do not name them here, since we are not connected with any of them, but local florists deliver to them often and you can simply tell the florist where your loved one lives.

Rooms in senior living are usually small, and shared tables fill up fast. A compact arrangement in a sturdy container is easier for staff and residents than a tall vase. Some communities limit certain plants or ask for flowers without strong scent. A quick call to the front desk can answer that.

Flowers mean even more when they come with a visit or a phone call. Families often send something for birthdays, Mother's Day, Grandparents Day or just because it has been a while.

Ideas

Thoughtful touches

  • Large print card

    Ask the florist to write the card in large, clear letters.

  • Familiar flowers

    Roses, carnations and daisies are easy to recognize and often loved.

  • Easy care

    A small plant can be better than cut flowers for someone who enjoys tending something.
