How to send your letter

  1. 1

    Confirm your person still lives at Rockwood Terrace

    Residents move — to another home, into hospital, or between units. Before mailing anything time-sensitive, confirm with family or the home's front desk that they're still a resident at Rockwood Terrace, and ask for their room or unit number if you have it.

  2. 2

    Address it to the resident, care of the home

    First line: the resident's full name (the name the home has on file). Second line: c/o Rockwood Terrace. Then the mailing address: 575 Sadler Street East, Durham ON N0G 1R0. Adding the room or unit number after the name helps staff deliver it quickly.

  3. 3

    Write something they can hold onto

    A letter, a card, or printed photos are all welcome — many residents keep them by the bed. Keep enclosures flat and paper: avoid loose glitter, batteries, or anything a care team would have to screen. For food, flowers, or parcels, call the home first, as some have policies.

  4. 4

    Send it without a trip to the post office

    Write or upload your letter to PostPal with the address above prefilled. We print it, add your return address so they can write back, and mail it for you for $6 — no printer, stamps, or post office trip, which is ideal if you live far away.
