Alaska Caring Notes
“Alaska Caring Notes” is an initiative to encourage children who are home from school to take time to write notes, upload a drawing, or send a video to residents in nursing homes. We know this is a difficult and lonely time and this is an Alaskan way to spread some happiness throughout our nursing homes. Let’s flood their homes with love!

Office of U.S. Senator Dan SullivanThanks Channel 2 for featuring "Alaska Caring Notes" initiative!Send a note - give a smile! We read a story this week about an initiative for people to think about elders during this time, particularly those in assisted living homes and send them a note, a picture or video. You can upload it to their site and they will get it to one of their residents across the state. I just submitted a hello from Team AM! You should do the same! Happy Thursday!

We're encouraged by over 60 messages in our first week from Alaskans who care about our elders. Check out this story from ADN about bright spots. And remember with in-person visits on pause, it’s important that people frequently call and FaceTime their family members in nursing homes. Community notes are no substitute for one-on-one connections with loved ones.
