Storytime With Santa

Storytime with Santa Papa John is a simple, joyful program created to bring connection, laughter, and positive memories to seniors and individuals living in group homes.

Our Core Belief: Through live virtual visits, we share uplifting stories and kind words to create a warm, welcoming experience designed especially for seniors, assisted living residents, nursing homes, and group homes of all kinds.

More Than Just a Story

It is an interactive experience where residents can:

  • Listen to heartwarming, easy-to-follow stories.

  • Smile & Laugh while engaging at their own comfort level.

  • Feel Included respecting every individual’s dignity.

  • Enjoy positive conversation and comforting energy.

Santa’s stories are gentle and encouraging—designed to create moments of calm and happiness. No pressure, no overstimulation, just genuine joy.

Perfect for: ✅ Senior living communities ✅ Assisted living facilities & Nursing homes ✅ Memory care programs ✅ Adult & Special-needs group homes ✅ Community programs looking for uplifting activities

Each session is approached with patience, kindness, and a deep understanding of different abilities and needs.

How it Works and Why it Matters

Simple, Virtual, and Heartwarming

  1. Schedule: Sessions are booked in advance to suit your calendar.

  2. Connect: Storytime is hosted virtually via Zoom.

  3. Interact: Santa interacts warmly with residents (as much as they are comfortable).

  4. Engage: Caregivers and activity directors are always welcome to join the fun!

Many seniors and group home residents don’t get enough positive interaction, especially interaction that feels personal and joyful. A friendly face, a warm voice, and a shared story can:

  • Brighten someone’s entire day.

  • Encourage social engagement.

  • Reduce feelings of isolation.

  • Create memories residents talk about long after the session ends.

Sometimes, a smile really does change everything.

A Message from Santa Papa John

“I believe happiness grows when we share it. Storytime isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection. If I can help someone smile, laugh, or feel a little more joy today, then it’s been a very good day.”
