FaceTime call to 86 year old Mrs S who was feeling particularly isolated from family and friends, welcomed a catchup today via FaceTime on her iPad. Mrs S is usually very socially active and finding it particularly hard staying indoors. After a few tears initially, after seeing a person on screen rather than just hearing a voice on the phone. The mood soon lightened though after much chatter reminiscing and Mrs S said she felt much brighter and would look forward to our next catch up.
