Supporting increased technological access for those receiving care in Scotland who are experiencing significantly reduced physical contact & social engagement

[Ruth McMurdo @CRuthMcM]

So important to support meaningful contact for the residents in our care homes, their relatives and loved ones and our care home staff.

Feeling a wee bit of sunshine today sending out some more devices to care providers ☀️We’ve still got lots of demand to help those receiving care in Scotland stay connected with their loved ones so if you can help with an old video calling enabled device please do get in touch 💜

[Tech Connection Network @TechConnectScot]

We’ve been feeling the love sending out all your lovely donations of late to their loving new homes 💫

[Tech Connection Network @TechConnectScot]

Sharing is caring, if you have an old phone or tablet that you no longer use - we can find the perfect home for it with one of the many care providers in Scotland. And that old device could be destined to keep loved ones connected, link in our bio with more info 🌟

Scotland is being urged to bring in an independent commissioner who would stand up for the rights of older people.

@DrDMacaskill says: “Ageism has been at the heart of so much of what has been the experience of older people during this pandemic."

With minimal visits & for the most part only outdoors for short periods of time video calling has continued to be a vital lifeline for loved ones to stay connected. Hearing from the care providers who have received donations is the absolute best! Link in bio on how to help ✨
