“New York’s Funniest Psychologist,” aka Drew Velting, will take his geriatric-friendly, stand-up comedy on the road to observe National Nursing Home Week (May 13-19). Starting May 14 at South Shore Healthcare in Freeport, NY, the Long Term Care Tour will visit seven nursing homes in the region.Over a span of two weeks, the comedian will entertain residents and staff at elder care and rehabilitation centers across the New York Metropolitan Area. “I love performing at nursing homes,” says Velting, “but I’m working my way up to assisted living.” He’s convinced that laughter promotes hope, recovery, and a general sense of well-being.
