PEN PAL INITIATIVE MARKS RESURGENCE IN LOST TRADITION
A recently launched pen pal initiative brings the beauty and value of handwritten letters to the residents of Canal Vue Care Home as they strike-up friendships with people in the local community.
Relatives Write
“Mum had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and eventually went into hospital for palliative care. After a few weeks the hospital said that she must move to a care home. We looked in dismay at several homes before finding Canal Vue that was a dream come true. Mum went there and had brilliant care for the last 5 weeks of her life. The homes management and staff were all very efficient, friendly and caring to both Mum and the whole family who were going through a difficult time – nothing was too much trouble. We miss Mum and our new friends at Canal Vue.”
