For Senior Living Communities
Mail your residents will look forward to
Cher Ami turns each family's photos and stories into a printed monthly magazine for their loved one in your community. Each family sets up their own magazine and your resident gets something wonderful in the mail to open, share, and keep.
No cost to your community • No staff admin • Nothing for residents to learn
How it works
1
Families share photos
Kids, grandkids, siblings — everyone posts photos and short stories in the Cher Ami app, from wherever they live.
2
We print and mail
At the start of each month, we turn those posts into a beautiful printed magazine and mail it, addressed to the resident.
3
Residents just open it
No app, no account, no password. Personal piece of mail, full of the people they love.
Screens weren't made for every resident
Video calls need a helper and recalls. Digital frames aren't updated and unplugged. Group chats are difficult and move quickly. A printed magazine asks nothing of your residents except their reading glasses. It waits on the nightstand, gets reread between visits, and gets shown off at lunch.
My parents actually look forward to getting something in their mailbox now, that hasn't happened in years!

Good for residents. Great for families. Easy for your team
For your residents
Real mail with their name on it. Not a bill, not a flyer. A monthly ritual to look forward to, photos to show tablemates, and stories to reread between visits.
For their families
A meaningful way to show up between visits, from anywhere. The whole family contributes from their phones. They manage the subscription and all the photos.
For your care team
Every issue puts names and faces to each resident's family. Residents get to show off the grandkids, the new puppy, the trip to the lake. Something more exciting to hand over than a bingo card.
Activity hours that plan themselves
Magazine day
Hand them out at coffee and let residents introduce their families to each other. It beats bingo.
Reminiscence sessions
Familiar faces with names and captions make gentle prompts for storytelling, especially for residents living with memory loss.
A warmer move-in
Suggest Cher Ami to families on move-in day. The first magazine is free, and it arrives right when a familiar face means the most.
Show, don't tell, on tours
A resident flipping through their own family magazine says more about life in your community than any brochure.
What it costs your community: nothing
Families subscribe directly — starting at $12.99 per magazine, with their first one free. There is nothing for your community to sign, stock, bill, or manage. And if a family isn't happy with a magazine, we replace or refund it.
