Care communities are full of people with long lives behind them: careers, families, opinions about the news, favorite teams, recipes nobody else makes quite right. Too often the days there are organized around care, and not enough around connection.
Changing Hearts exists to change that, one moment at a time. We bring glossy, current magazines into care communities and turn them into shared experiences. We help new residents feel welcomed from their very first day. And we make room for the life stories that deserve an audience.
None of it is complicated. That is the point. A magazine handed over with a hello becomes a reason to talk. A thoughtful welcome tells someone they were expected. A story told and kept tells a person their life mattered.
Who we serve
Residents of senior living, assisted living and other care communities, along with the families and staff who love them. We work alongside community teams, never around them.
How it's possible
Local businesses, magazine publishers and individual supporters make our programs possible. They give generously, and in return we give them a clear account of what happened, never advertising aimed at residents.
