Feeling isolated and alone was already a problem for seniors prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, but with social distancing measures causing nursing homes to suspend most visits to prevent their populations from becoming ill, the loneliness epidemic became even more exacerbated.
To combat feelings of isolation among this population, dramatist and director Aleta Barthell is leading an effort to help seniors in nursing homes and hospice care share their life experiences through a new series of monologues called “Saving Stories.”
Funded by a $5,000 Humanities For All Quick Grant from California Humanities, the New Village Arts project aims to create a connection toolkit to help seniors cope with feelings of loneliness during the pandemic.
