LHS KC September Project: Adopt a Nursing Home

Hi, fellow Key Club members! Our club has decided that for the month of September we will be volunteering for the campaign: Adopt a NursingHome. With this project, we will be sending letters to the nursing home that we have been matched with:

ONPOINTE TRANSITIONAL CARE THE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ARLINGTON,800 W. RANDOL MILL ROAD 6TH FLOOR,ARLINGTON, TX 76012

You are welcome to mail as many letters as you wish! Follow these steps and guidelines.

Find a piece of paper and an envelope, or a post card.

Write the address for Onpointe Transitional Care and the return address (your home) on the from of the envelop.

Begin your letter! It can be a card, artwork, or a letter just with words! Follow the guidelines below:

Write in a large, legible font.

Include pictures or photos if you want!

If possible, open up and tell your story. Share who you are, big moments and accomplishments, great memories, and more. Whatever you are comfortable with!

Avoid licking envelopes if possible. They will hold all mail for 24 hours to protect residents and staff. If sending multiple letters, consider bundling to make quarantining easier.

Your initial letter(s) should be addressed generically to “a special resident” or “a special staff member,” as it/they may be shared/posted in a central location like a bulletin board.

In your letter, you are welcome to invite anyone interested in being a personal pen pal to send you a direct reply.

Be creative and stay positive—you are a source of comfort and strength for our residents and our staff! Stick your letter in the envelope and mail it!

If you're unable to mail it you are welcome to bring it to the facility ina sealed ziplock bag(please wear a mask).

If you are unable to bring it to the facility, contact Patrick Chang @pchang0707@gmail.com
