Every year the elderly face a world with fewer choices that are familiar to them.
Many have lost partners or are separated from family and the communities where they lived the majority of their lives.
The holidays are always tough reminders, but few are as universal a reminder as Valentine's Day of loved ones lost, where the exchange of kindness often misses assisted living homes entirely.
For this reason, we work diligently to be ready for the winter blues and counter the loneliness with the joys of personalized music.
It's such a simple pleasure, yet it can mean so much for a nursing home patient or assisted living facility resident who may still be functional in every way except the inability to get around.
Please consider helping us this season with a donation of a new or used iPod shuffle and we'll gladly include your first name and last initial on the tag when it's donated to a grateful resident.
Instead of breaking New Years resolutions with chocolates and wine, why not give the gift of music to someone who will use it year round?
Your donation is appreciated, at any amount. To fund a full iPod, the purchase cost is only $59 (includes special headphones, etc.)
Thank you so much for letting someone know they aren't alone on Valentine's Day!
