The Falls Church Chamber of Commerce encourages local res- idents to mail letters, drawings and notes to residents at near- by senior living facilities. The two closest are The Kensington Falls Church (700 W Broad St., Falls Church) and Chesterbrook Residences (2030 Westmoreland St., McLean). Since senior liv- ing facilities are high risk areas for the spread of the novel coro- navirus, few visitors have been allowed and residents have lim- ited mobility within the facilities themselves. The contact through the mail has been deemed a safe way to communicate accord- ing to the latest research. Those interested in sending something to either facility should contact The Kensington’s Kitty Janey at kjanney@kensingtonsl.com or Chesterbrook’s Kelly Halteh at kahalteh@cri-va.org.
