'Adopt-A-Resident' Virtual Pen Pal Program

It’s not every day that students reach out to us for a great way to help out with keeping face-to-face contact with our residents (though it is certainly becoming more common) and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Our CEO, Gary Coppedge, says "[A] written letter is good, but being able to see somebody's facial expressions and being able to talk to them just adds another level of personal engagement.”

Our residents have been so excited to regularly hear from the students at J. Paul Taylor Academy, it’s been something they look forward to. Thank you so much to the students from JPTA - Addie, Amelia, and Gaia - and Heidi Moccia for both suggesting and making this great way to stay connected a reality.
