Yes there is something to be said for a newsletter you can hold in your hands and scan and peruse at your leisure. Thanks for your feedback Nikki.
I email our quarterly newsletter to families and the few guests who use digital means of communication. I always get enough printed copies for all guests though as even the ones who have read their email like to have the paper copy. I'm guessing this is due to a mix of memory loss and lack of comfort with digital means.
Texting rather than phone calls work for some with hearing loss who are comfortable with that function on their smartphone. This is just those last minute changes due to a storm or a reminder that their session is today.
