ASHLAND, Ky. (AP) Making connections with others has been difficult for the last year or so, especially for those in assisted living and nursing homes.
So Laney Orndorff got an idea to make connecting a little easier.
Orndorff, a certified nurse aide at The Lantern at Morning Pointe, thought the loss of socialization affected the elderly and teens.
“I was just thinking about how our residents and students are going through the same things we are, the struggle with COVID-19 and not seeing family as much, so I thought we should kind of relate those two struggles and bring a positive outlook to it,” she said. “(Residents) tend to connect to young people, teens and children. It’s a good way to connect to their youthfulness. I reminisce with residents every day. Most of them have huge photo binders from their youth, and it’s interesting to the young
