The social distancing measures in various states have greatly affected visitation rules in many nursing homes. As a way to help nursing home residents feel less lonely and more connected to others, Victorian Senior Care initiated a pen pal search via social media.

In their post, they said: 

What's more is that the initiative wasn't just for Phoenix Assisted Care.

Victorian Senior Care posted a series of updates, sharing that more pen pals are wanted for residents of other nursing homes and assisted living facilities in North Carolina.
