Senior Living – A card can mean everything!

Published

on

During this holiday season, the Rotary Club of Warren County would like to remind you to consider writing cards to local senior living facilities. Folks are feeling extra alone because of the restrictions brought on by the pandemic. It might be nice to include a message wishing all the residents a wonderful day. It is even more important to send a card or message since residents are not getting their usual communication.

The 3 & 4-year-old classes at Grasshopper Green Preschool in Strasburg also colored pictures for the residents of the memory care units at Hidden Springs and other area nursing homes.

Kristen Tulallah and Josh Pence prepare drawings to send to the nursing homes. Kristen and her family sent 68 Christmas cards to Hidden Springs Senior Living in Bentonville.

Let’s help connect our whole community and bring a sense of joy through the little things! Even after the holiday passes, birthday wishes are always needed as well.

A motivating fact:
Senior living facilities reported that ½ to ¾ of the residents do not receive cards or mail (the exception was Hidden Spring with all receiving something). Total of all residents: 469.
