Langley Woman Launches Christmas Card Campaign for Seniors in Care

A Langley, British Columbia, woman wants to lift the spirits for seniors in care communities during the pandemic and the current holiday season, reports News 1130 . Danielle Axton, the memory living manager at Chartwell Langley Gardens, has launched a Christmas card campaign and is looking for participants. "I have visions of us sitting around a table and opening the cards together and then putting them on the wall for everybody to enjoy and reminisce," she said. There are more than 300 residents at the retirement community, and Axton is encouraging the public to also reach out to local communities to try to spread holiday cheer. Axton added, "I want do it as a group because then the conversation gets going, those memories start flowing. It's really beneficial for residents who are living with any kind of cognitive impairment to reminisce and get your brain thinking about those things that you used to do."
