My mom has moderate mixed dementia and is in the Assisted Living side currently. We bought a Facebook Portal so that we can video chat. It looks like a digital picture frame and it plays a slide show of pictures I set up when not in use. I use Facebook messenger to call, and it's only one touch on the screen to answer. It's worked pretty well, except sometimes she unplugs it. I can see her and seeing who is calling really helps my mom.

Even if your Mom cant do it herself, it would be easier than setting up a zoom call for the facility. We set it up at home, connected to the facility Wifi, from parking lot and then they just plugged it in her room.

My mom's facility has been no visitors at all for several weeks now. It's been hard. Prior to that, even though visitors couldn't go inside, she could come out on the front deck and we could sit and chat, socially distanced. Hopefully we can at least get back to that soon. But no one, residents or staff , has had any symptoms confirmed cases of the virus.

Thank you Gracie! I'm going to look into buying a Facebook Portal. I love how it also does a slide show of pictures when not in use. Great idea!
