The elderly of this country are losing their homes, losing friends and family, and worse, they sometimes loose grasp of who they were before being institutionalized. Rehab Facilities have lost funding for activities to engage our treasured loved ones.
Like the music and art disappearing from schools, the money to care for our older family members is being lost to lower retirement payouts.
We saw the need first hand, as one of our Mothers' came to this Rehab Facility. We noticed how there were rooms with little or no resources for the residents, when speaking to the Activities Director, we discovered the lack of funds/ donations to help. We chose to ACT....
By Acting, we have a continuous donation effort of games, VCR tapes, books, decor, greeting cards, and magazines.
We have a committee that takes the donations to the Rehab Center.
