The holidays are a time for celebrating with friends and loved ones - but social isolation is a serious issue for many people, including seniors. We can all help make a difference.

Reach out to the seniors in your life and spend some quality time together this holiday season. Even a small interaction like a regular phone call or quick visit can have a big impact.

All of our Christmas Angels have been picked up!

Thank you SO much to everyone in the community who have helped to bring Christmas cheer to the seniors in the Crowsnest Pass. There were exactly 50 seniors nominated to receive gifts this year!

I only wish I could share the smiles and gratitude we see when handing out these gifts. It truly makes a difference 💝🎅🏼💝

For anyone looking to drop off gifts, we will be at the office Monday, December 22 and Tuesday, December 23 from 12:00-5:00.

We got a handful of last minute nominations! If you are still looking to pick up a Christmas Angel this year, come by the office to pick one (or two 😆) out!
We have extended the gift drop-off deadline to December 23rd.

I wanted to create a post to acknowledge the wonderful staff we have working at Cartwright Cares.

Our staff work to provide care and ensure seniors in our community have access to the resources they need. It is hard work that can take a large emotional toll.

This time of year comes with its unique challenges including working with individuals who have changing health needs and supporting end of life care.

We cannot say “thank you” enough. 💙
