Storytime with Santa Papa John
Bringing Joy, Smiles, and Meaningful Moments to Seniors & Group Homes
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.
This project was built on one powerful idea:
Everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued—at every stage of life.
Through live virtual visits or scheduled sessions, Santa Papa John reads uplifting stories, shares kind words, and creates a warm, welcoming experience designed especially for seniors, assisted living residents, nursing homes, and group homes of all kinds.
What Is Storytime with Santa Papa John?
It’s more than just reading a story.
It’s an interactive experience where residents can:
- Listen to heartwarming, easy-to-follow stories
- Smile, laugh, and engage at their own comfort level
- Feel included, respected, and appreciated
- Enjoy positive conversation and familiar, comforting energy
Santa’s stories are gentle, encouraging, and designed to create moments of calm, happiness, and connection—no pressure, no overstimulation, just genuine joy.
Who Is This Program For?
Storytime with Santa Papa John is perfect for:
- Senior living communities
- Assisted living facilities
- Nursing homes
- Memory care programs
- Adult group homes
- Special-needs group homes
- Community programs looking for uplifting activities
Each session is approached with patience, kindness, and understanding of different abilities and needs.
How It Works
- Sessions are scheduled in advance
- Storytime is hosted virtually (Zoom or similar platform)
- Santa interacts warmly with residents during the session (If that is possible)
- Stories and conversation are tailored to the group’s comfort level
- Caregivers and activity directors are always welcome to participate
The goal is simple: create smiles, spark conversation, and leave everyone feeling a little lighter than before.
Why This Matters
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

If I can help someone smile, laugh, or feel a little more joy today, then it’s been a very good day.”
