About
Us…
The Home-to-Home Foundation
is a non-profit organization established to
enhance the quality of life for residents in long-term care facilities
by providing
increased human contact and social activities through volunteer programs. As
the population of Connecticut ages, more and more of its residents are spending
longer periods of time in nursing facilities. Dr. Richard Silverman, a pulmonologist
and founder of the Foundation realized, while working in area
nursing facilities, that the first budget cuts always affect the recreation
department. Dr. Silverman has made a commitment to finding areas of interest
to these residents and providing them with personalized sources of stimulation.
His vision is accomplished through volunteers who visit nursing homes on a
regular basis and through donations of recreational supplies.
The Home-to-Home
Foundation
finds special events that will appeal to
residents, and with
time, positively influence residents’ life skills through renewed spirit.
Residents in long term care facilities often lose touch with the world outside
of the institution in which they reside.
The Home-to-Home Foundation
endeavors
to make communities aware of the people who are in facilities and of the attention
and care that they need as well. Our goal is not to replace those special individuals
who work endlessly and exhaustingly to provide the everyday care issues required.
We are more than appreciative of the timeless efforts of the nursing home staff.
We are here to help!
