    My mom moved into an independent/assisted living facility last month. She's met a lot of other elderly residents but they're all in various states of health. Memory loss, bad hearing, walkers, scooters, etc. After hearing her stories of meeting her new neighbors I asked if it would be helpful if she had a "business card" to hand out. Stuff like her name, room number, phone number, her interests - words with friends handle lol.
    She's into it, so I'm doing it - fun to be designing something for the first time in a looooong time

    • Aw man. I dread the day my dearest mama gets to that stage in life. She's a spry and very active 71 year old, so it doesn't seem soon.jagara
    • Cards are a good idea. Make it look pretty!jagara
    • Sounds lovely. My gran went into a nursing home and ended up marrying the old guy next door. They had to wear name badges for the first 6 months or so!!Ianbolton
