Our Aging Parents was born out of the COVID-19 pandemic when state and local municipalities began to lockdown nursing homes across the country.
Advocacy is the core of my being. I want to honor my mom and those living in long-term care facilities throughout New Jersey by supporting a senior. The COVID-19 pandemic has ravished our long-term care facilities. Those who remain are left to meander in losing their friends and losing personal contact with their family members. COVID-19 has impacted even my mother, and despite all the underlying conditions and ten days in the hospital, she survived this deadly virus.
However, countless residents were not as lucky. Many of these facilities have been on lockdown since March 13, 2020. Limited visitation had begun to resume in early September, but many facilities are lockdown again amidst the recent surge in cases. When these facilities return to regular visitations, the Virtuous House will support those seniors with inspiration and support.
