Shoreham care home residents share messages of hope

Dovile Cyzaite, activities co-ordinator, said: “As Kingsland House care home are being forced to close their doors to family visitors due to the precaution against the coronavirus spreading, we decided to help our residents to stay in contact with their family via Skype to reduce the risk of loneliness and isolation. The residents really enjoy being in touch with their families and seeing them face-to-face during this difficult time, it puts a smile on their face. Also, the residents can connect now more often with their relatives who live far away and were not able to visit their loved ones as often. Some of our residents decided to take a picture with a note to show their families that they are well.”
