Tablets for Seniors: Staying Connected

While COVID-19 has been challenging for all, it has been especially difficult for residents in long term care as we have experienced significant social isolation. This is particularly evident during times of outbreak where all residents must remain in their rooms for the duration of the outbreak; often in excess of 14 days. Further, since the onset of the pandemic residents were restricted from receiving visitors, accessing the community and moving within the home. It has been a very challenging year.  

Everyone is working hard to keep residents connected with friends and family . With the holiday season quickly approaching, we have decided to launch our Tablets for Seniors initiative which looks to provide every resident with their own tablet while at Medex so that they can stay connected.

The goal is to enhance the health and wellbeing of all residents by keeping engaged, connected, and entertained. We are looking forward to participating in virtual happy hours, tea parties, bingo, book club, trivia nights, live stream karaoke, group exercise classes, and so much more!  We will be able to enjoy our favourite concerts or movies, TV shows, documentaries, and play games online.  We will be able to enjoy the company of our loved ones with regular video calls and virtual holiday meals.   The possibilities are endless!
 
You can help us in achieving our goal by donating. Your support will help us reach our goal of acquiring 173 tablets so that we can stay connected.  No donation is too small.  

Thank you in advance for your support.
