Seniors take to Skype and more

The Ron Smith Care Centre’s occupational therapy (OT) division implemented a stimulating means for residents to interact.

Residents of the care centre, situated at Elphin Lodge, have various activities to keep themselves busy.

With the introduction of laptops in September, the residents have been learning all about clicks, the mouse and dragging.

Ms Bianca Richards, an occupational therapist at Rand Aid, said the idea is not only to add a new activity to the many stimulating options already offered, but to also help loved ones stay in touch through Skype and other platforms.
