As a New Year’s resolution, Carol Dykstra wanted to find a way to lift people’s spirits in her La Costa Glen senior living community, especially after almost a year of COVID-19 that was particularly difficult for seniors.
“It was a really rough year for everybody and I just decided to do something every day to bring a little sunshine into people’s lives,” said Dykstra, a former school teacher and social worker from Pennsylvania who met her husband of 50 years in his home state of Iowa.
Over the past few months, she’s followed through by regularly giving a variety of gifts, including flowers and balloons, and other packages to her neighbors and friends to welcome people to the neighborhood, celebrate birthdays or milestones, and more. She also takes people to lunch or helps them with errands that they struggle completing because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
