Recreation Newsletter and Program Calendars

April 2020

Hello residents and family members,

This is a stressful and challenging time for everyone, especially our residents and their families, but social-distancing doesn’t mean isolation. There are other ways to stay connected with your loved one.

• Technology: Connect with Skype, Apple FaceTime, email, or social media. View our guide on Using Technology to Connect with Your Loved Ones (PDF).

Starting Thursday, March 26, 2020, AgeCare Midnapore family members will be able to reserve a time to video chat with their loved ones via Skype or Apple FaceTime on an AgeCare Midnapore device. Reservations can be made by emailing your neighborhood social worker or the recreation manager.

• Resident’s Personal Phone Line: If your loved one does not have a phone line in their room, we can help you get one. Please email your neighborhood social worker or the recreation manager.
• Write a Letter: Email your letter to Marlee Dukart, or drop it off a reception, and we will deliver – and read it, if needed – to your loved one.

All of us in the AgeCare Family will be facing uncertainty and new challenges over the coming days. But, we are confident that if we work together, we will keep everyone safe in our community.
