Patient Advocacy Card Writing
Residents in Skilled Nursing Facilities have been particularly affected by COVID-19. With all facilities currently prohibiting any visitation with the exception of end of life, many of the residents have found themselves even more lonely and isolated than before. Our hope is to provide a warm hello with a hand written or hand decorated card to remind them they are not forgotten and we are all thinking about them every day. Our goal was to deliver 6,815 cards for each of our clients in the 88 care facilities we serve, but has now expanded thanks to the amazing support of our volunteers. Would you join us in bringing more joy and comfort to seniors in our community?
