Just want a shoutout to my supported living manager

She’s been fantastic helping me through this crisis and has prevented me going into hospital. She has taken her time out her busy day to arrange prescriptions to help with my anxiety and has been very supportive even when I’ve been ranting down the phone at her multiple times a day. I know she’s not reading here. How can I tell her my appreciation without me sounding like I’m kissing her bum? She likes coffee, should I buy her a jar of nice coffee?

Just tell her what you said here.

She probably won’t accept a jar of coffee because it would be unethical.

I think that would be a nice, appropriate gesture

She might not legally be allowed to accept gifts from you. I never could when I was a case manager. But just tell her you appreciate her, like @kindness suggested.

I don’t know what the rules are there, but here, usually small gifts, such as coffee, pastries, a decorative plant, etc are acceptable. But a nice card is also good!

I give gifts to the nurses that help me and they always accept them, but they know I don’t expect preferential treatment from them.
I normally give it to them as a leaving present and nothing expensive. A jar of coffee is appropriate.

I don’t know… A jar of nice coffee sounds like a panic attack… Maybe expensive black tea.

I think you could either just say to her what you said to us, or you could make/buy her a card.
