"He thinks I've abandoned him," "She's going to be depressed for sure," "I can't even call him—he's in no condition," "It's heartbreaking to be so close yet unreachable." These are the daily concerns Cap Retraite advisors hear from families.
In response to this growing worry, Cap Retraite is calling for solidarity. With schools closed and parents at home, why not turn it into a creative opportunity? Encourage your children to make artwork and send it to the nearest nursing home (EHPAD).
Drawings, paintings, stickers, origami, collages, postcards, herbariums, pasta necklaces—anything that fits in a mailbox is welcome!
Children's boundless creativity can remind seniors they are not forgotten and brighten their solitary days. France has 7,000 nursing homes and 65 million people—let's unite.
