The Gift of Communication to Aylsham Residents
Coronavirus is sweeping the world and Aylsham Round Table are able to give the gift of communication to Aylsham care home residents. A donation of tablets allowed them to keep in touch with loved ones.
Care home residents in Aylsham can now video call with their families, thanks to the gift of a Samsung Galaxy tablets from Aylsham Round Table. We have donated tablets to every care home within Aylsham to attempt alleviate the isolation from families and friends that COVID-19 has caused.
Karen Powley, manager at the Mount in Aylsham, said it had raised everyone’s mood during the uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic.
She said, “The home is on lockdown so our residents are not seeing their families. I was absolutely delighted when I was asked if we would like a free tablet so that our residents can keep in touch with their families.”
“Our residents are delighted they can finally see their relatives again. It might only be on a screen but it has raised the mood of individuals. I would like to say a big thank you to Aylsham Round Table members, without whom we wouldn’t have this great opportunity.”
Here at Aylsham Round Table would like to say a big thank you to Claire Gilbert from CareRite Ltd, a dementia thought leader who works with many care homes across East Anglia and is also one of the co-founders of the Norfolk Care Awards.
