Wonder Has No Age Limit
Nature Engagement for Seniors Trust (N.E.S.T.) brings the simple joy of birdwatching to long-term care communities — giving residents a reason to look out the window, a reason to talk to each other, and a small piece of the natural world to belong to.
We fund and staff everything through grants and donations, so it costs residents and facilities nothing.
Caring for those who cared for others.
85% of residents living in Medicaid-funded nursing homes worked full-time jobs such as teachers, nurses, receptionists, and clerks. 18% were forced to leave the workforce early to care for others or care for themselves due to illness.
They worked hard.
They deserve the best.
