Isolated Nursing Home Residents Communicate With Their Families By Posting Signs On Social Media
Residents of nursing homes are currently isolated from their families and loved ones as visitation has been put on hold to stop the spread of the Coronavirus.
Many of the elderly occupants of these nursing homes are unable to communicate with their families, or have the ability to use phones and social media, so the residents and staff at Texan Nursing Rehab of Gonzales got creative and wrote messages to their families on a whiteboard, where they were later posted across social media.
“I am doing alright and I will be happy when I can see you again.” Others said, “I’m still beating them all at Wahoo and Bingo,” read one sign.

The images were also shared on Facebook, “I am doing alright (sic) and I will be happy when I can see you again.”
“We have to get creative in ways to continue to give families insight into our daily activities,” Wendy Moore, regional director of marketing for the home told KSAT.. “Our team continues to go above and beyond utilizing the social platform to give our families peace of mind during this time.”
It’s definitely the perfect way to keep everybody’s spirits high during this tough time and connect loved ones.
