Cabrini nursing home in Dobbs Ferry, New York, is a large facility with 304 beds. During the pandemic, to keep the virus out, it restricted residents’ outdoor activities and visits from family and friends, leaving the seniors alone in their rooms for long stretches. Even in July and August, when the outbreak eased a little, they could only see their loved ones through a window. To show the seniors we care and to cheer them on, UAC launched this Love Bag campaign. The bags for staff contained small bottles of hand sanitizer, KN95 masks, candy and thank-you cards; the bags for residents also included memory card games, small crafts, mini Rubik’s cubes and other little toys to help pass the lonely hours.
