In a period of isolation, a pen pal program is a great way to help dementia patients know that they are not alone. By simply writing about your day and asking about theirs, it will greatly help the patients. Your letters can start new conversations and trigger memories for the patients as they might relate to something from their life.

Volunteers can type their letters or write them and take a picture. Please enter your information and we will get back to you by pairing you with a dementia patient at a facility close to you. We will set up a communication line between the volunteers and the local memory care facility so volunteers can directly email their letters to the facility.
