Overland Park seniors in memory care, assisted living and senior communities received a sweet surprise Friday to kick off the "weekend of love."
Senior Helpers, a caregiving company in Johnson County, Kansas, passed out hundreds of homemade Valentine's Day cards ahead of the holiday. Johnson County middle school students and community members helped make cards earlier this week.
The cards showed love in all types of forms for residents at Prairie Elder Care in Overland Park.
The director of sales and community partnerships at the assisted living facility explained a small card can have a big impact.
"The cards make a world of a difference for them," Lisa Elliott said. "They make them feel valued and seen. They'll be looking at the cards all day, over and over again."
Johnson County reporter Isabella Ledonne did a story Wednesday, showing Valentine's Day is not just about romantic dinners. You can find that story here.
