Alzheimer’s and Dementia Pen Pal Greeting Cards for September 2021

The September 2021 Pen Palz “pen pal” greeting cards for Alzheimer’s and dementia residents of memory-care units and board-and-care homes were a hit! This batch was extra special: All were designed by young students! I then added “fidget” objects to each of the approximately 350 cards, such as pieces of felt, puffy balls, googly eyes, and buttons as the sensory/touch therapy elements. Here’s a note from one of the care facilities:

“I did want to send you a thank you for the lovely fun cards you sent. They bring a smile to the faces of our residents which is priceless.”
