Letters of Love Program

Students, Nursing
Home Residents to
Connect by Writing
 
Facilities in the Avantara system of care centers are participating in a Letters of Love program. Because the facilities were closed to visitors as a measure to diminish the spread of COVID-19, organizers implemented the program to connect home-based students with residents. 
    The program expanded to include any members of the public who wish to help the residents of the care centers feel love. “We want to bring a little bit of extra happiness to our residents during this time,” said Connie Ortega, vice president of operations for Avantara. 
    The modern-day penpal program asks willing participants to send letters and photos to residents. The public is invited to email wecare@legacyhc.com, to participate.
