Create a Plan to Stay Connected

[AARPMichaelP]

• Isolation is a huge issue as we begin to follow the social distancing guidance from the CDC. Set up communication using a variety of technology with your loved one and your team – FaceTime, Google Home, Skype, smart speakers, or simply phone and text.

• Check with the facility your loved one is in to see if they have made accommodations for online visits using technology and how they plan to communicate with families.

• As an alternative, send in cards, letters, magazines, puzzles or other items you know your loved one would be happy to get! Talk with your facility management about the safest way to deliver items.
