The elderly are not a different species.
They feel love the same as any other age group.
Put the same designs as you would use for anyone else.

This is a wonderful project and I am so glad you are giving to the Seniors. You may already know that many of them are put in Nursing Homes and forgotten about by their families, with no visiting whatsoever. That said….I would cut out hearts with decorative scissors in 2 or 3 sizes, then stick glue them together. I would probably glitter the edges for some sparkle and eye candy. As for the sayings, yes the normal…Would you be Mine, Happy Valentines Day works just fine. You can glue the candy hearts with hot glue as decorations too….Just tell them not to eat the glue….
Or make some up like:
You are the Sparkle in the Star….and make a Star Shape with the glittered edges.
This project will really be appreciated by them. Remember many of them would not even get candy, chocolates etc….ever. Some are Diabetic, but Sugar-Free Candy is available and not too bad tasting.Baskin -Robbins makes one.
I worked as the Activities Director at our Local Senior Center for about 3 years. Loved my job.
