Staying in Touch with Loved Ones

San Carlos Elms is happy to help families stay in contact with one another during this time.

 Faith and her son had plans to visit Grandma Joan this month from Chicago, but due to our current situation plans were cancelled. This would have been the first meeting for Joan and her Great Grandson. Thanks to technology we were able to make the meeting possible.

Photo above was sent to use by Faith.

 This photo was also sent by Faith, it was a wonderful experience. Seeing Joan's face light up when she saw her family, her eyes filled up with happy tears.

 Gwenn has met with several family members and has more scheduled.

 Shirley was so happy to meet with her daughter, she said, "Makes up for no Bingo."

 John admits to not being computer savvy, but he looks like he is doing a good job.

 At 103 Bob can't believe that he can communicate, with the help of technology, with his daughter Robyn.

Bob said this is just, "Unbelievable and Wonderful!"

Thank you to all the staff who are helping to keep our Residents safe during this time, but most importantly keeping families connected.

Keep up the Great Work!!!

It could be a board game or

 a card game. Sometimes it can even be a social.

4H Visit

 The local 4H group comes in monthly with a project for our Residents.

 This visit they were getting us ready for St. Patrick's Day.
