The holiday season is a time of love, warmth, and connection, and at Thorek Retirement Home, we understand the importance of staying connected with loved ones during this time of year. Obviously in-person visits are the best way to share the holidays but we know that’s not always possible. While you may not be able to physically be with your loved ones in retirement communities during the holidays, there are heartfelt ways to ensure that residents and their families can share the joy of the season, no matter where they are.
Virtual Celebrations
In an age of technology, virtual celebrations have become a wonderful way for families to come together, regardless of distance. Video calls are a great way to connect with loved ones in real-time. Whether it’s opening presents, sharing stories, or enjoying a virtual holiday meal, the possibilities for creating special moments through technology are endless.
Holiday Care Packages
Sending festive care packages is a thoughtful way for families to share the holiday spirit with their loved ones in retirement communities. Personalized packages filled with holiday treats, handwritten cards, and small gifts bring the joy of the season directly to residents’ doorsteps.
Need our address to ship your care packages? You can send them to the attention of your resident to: 4950 N Ashland Ave., Chicago, IL 60640.
Video Messages
Can’t do a real-time video call with your loved ones? Record heartfelt holiday video messages! These personalized messages can be compiled into a heartwarming video montage, creating a sense of closeness and bringing smiles to residents’ faces. This thoughtful gesture allows families to share their love and well-wishes in a meaningful and lasting way that they can rewatch whenever they may feel lonely.

While physical distance may separate us during the holidays, the bonds of love and connection can transcend any barriers. In Thorek Retirement Home, we celebrate the season by embracing innovative ways for residents and their families to stay connected. From virtual celebrations to festive care packages, these thoughtful gestures ensure that the spirit of togetherness permeates every corner of our community.
