Comforting Connections is dedicated to alleviating loneliness among elderly residents in nursing homes and hospice care facilities by fostering meaningful relationships. We bring residents together with each other and with youth volunteers through enriching activities such as gardening, storytelling, and creative craft projects. By nurturing these comforting human connections, we provide essential emotional support, ensuring residents feel valued, loved, and connected.
“I love when you all come and spend time with me…it gives me a chance to come out of my room and do something fun; I feel happier.”
“Mystic Park is a very welcoming community…I remember seeing residents waiting at the door when I walked in and they were so excited when I showed them we were gardening and showed them the plants; their excitement inspires me to do more. The staff and nurses there are passionate and kind-hearted.”
“This activity was so much fun, when are we doing this again?”
