Made for a senior living community

A holiday card that looks like your community

Type your community's website address and the card takes your brand colors and finds your logo. Or drop in a logo file and the colors are read from it. Then the photos and every line of text are yours: the greeting, the message, and whether it comes from the community, your team or your executive director.

The result is a retirement community holiday greeting that plays like a short film: your logo, your colors and your words, with music, full screen on a phone. On a Photo & Text design you can add your own photos of the community. It plays on its own web page, and the email that carries it to families is designed for you, with an animated or still graphic of the card. The demo on this page was set up for a senior living community; press Make this yours and the studio opens it, ready for your own logo.

Type your community's website and the card takes your colors and finds your logo.

What to write in a holiday message to residents' families

Keep it short, warm and about them. A good holiday message to residents' families thanks them for their trust, wishes them peace for the season, and comes from people they know. The season is hard for some families, so a calm, kind message usually lands better than a loud one. Start from one of these and change any word.

To residents' families

"Season's greetings from our family to yours. From all of us at [community name]."

"Thank you for trusting us with the people you love. Happy holidays."

"It has been a joy to share this year with your family. Warm wishes for the holidays from everyone at [community name]."

To referral partners

"Thank you for your partnership and the families you send our way. Season's greetings from [community name]."

To volunteers and your team

"To everyone who brought kindness to our residents this year: thank you. Happy holidays."

To everyone

"Wishing you peace and joy this holiday season."

Ecard or printed card for your community?

A printed senior living holiday card still looks lovely on a resident's door. For every family and partner on your list, an assisted living holiday card sent by email reaches further, at one price.

Who should get your community's holiday card

  • Residents' families: adult children, grandchildren and the relatives who visit and call.
  • Referral partners: hospital discharge planners, physicians, placement advisors and home care agencies.
  • Volunteers and the groups who bring music, crafts and visits.
  • Your staff: caregivers, nurses, the kitchen, housekeeping and the front desk.

A card holds one message, so many communities make two senior community holiday greetings: one to families, one to referral partners or your own team. Copy the first card, change the words, and both live in the same account.

A greeting for every family

Your residents and their families come from every faith and none, so most communities choose Season's Greetings, Happy Holidays or Peace and joy. Every word on the card is yours to type, so the same design carries whichever greeting your community uses. Some communities send a thank-you at Thanksgiving as well.

Approved by your executive director before you pay

A community's card usually needs a yes from the executive director, a regional office or the brand team. Press Send for approval and pass on the link. It shows the real, finished card with a watermark, has nothing to download, and needs no account, so anyone who signs off can watch it on a phone between rounds.

When the card is approved, answer one question at checkout and the clean card is made in about one to two minutes. Nothing is bought until someone says yes. Spot a typo afterward? Fix it and the card is made again, at no charge.

Keep the card a greeting

A holiday card carries one greeting for everyone on your list, so nothing about any resident's health or care belongs on it. Your community decides who receives it, which photos it shows and every word it says. If you add photos of residents, use the ones your community already has permission to share, and if you are unsure, check with whoever looks after privacy at your community before you send.

Show the season in your community

On a Photo & Text design, the photos are yours: the decorated lobby, the holiday concert, the cookie baking, the garden under snow. A family member far away sees the place their mother or father calls home, full of life at the holidays, and the card ends where they can see what is coming next.

When the card finishes, it shows a row of links you choose. For a community, that is usually the holiday events calendar or the visiting hours for families, and a page to book a tour for anyone thinking about a move.

Your family list stays in your hands

There are two ways to send, at the same price.

  • Send it yourself. We design the email; you send it from Mailchimp, Constant Contact, Outlook or another provider. Your family list never leaves your own system.
  • We send it. Import your list and every address is checked before the send. Unsubscribes are handled for you, permanently, and you get a report afterward.

Either way, the email is designed and tested to render as widely as possible, and the card's own page sets no cookies on the families you send it to and is kept out of search engines. How each way works · Privacy.

When to send a senior living holiday ecard

Early December works for most communities: after Thanksgiving, and before families make their holiday visiting plans. Send it midweek, when it lands in an inbox people are reading rather than a busy weekend. If we send it, you can schedule it ahead of time.

Want families to plan a visit? Put your holiday events and visiting hours in the card's ending links, so the dates are one click away. The card's page stays live after you send it, and another send extends it, so a reminder before your holiday open house can carry the same card.
