1. BE A PENPAL: Volunteer with the Nursing Home Card Project by writing and sending cards.

2. TRAIN AS A CITIZEN ADVOCATE: Become a volunteer ombudsman or “citizen advocate” through The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program (LTCOP), a federally-mandated advocacy program for these residents giving them their voice and helping enforce their rights. Learn more here.

3. MEMORIAL PLANNING COMMITTEE: Join Gray Panthers NYC to honor the lives of those we have lost to COVID-19 in nursing homes by developing a proposal for a physical memorial and a virtual memorial. Contact Michelle Arnot (michelle (at) graypanthersnyc.org) to join our effort.
