CareChoice suggestion

Hi all, Recently, we reached out to CareChoice nursing home to see if there was anything we could do to cheer up the residents during this lonely time. They said that the best way to make contact and cheer up the residents at the moment would be to get the children to make a card, draw/paint a picture, make a piece of art etc and get parents to take a picture and email it to them. They also suggested videos of the children singing a song or doing a dance, or Easter cards/art etc , anything to cheer the residents up as they have had a no visitors policy for the last three weeks.   CareChoice said that they will print off the artwork that is sent to them and stick it up around the place for residents to see. They’re also making a book with all of the positive things that have happened during this so some of the pictures etc could go into that.  The email address is  hello@carechoice.ie   If you are willing to get involved, can you please put ‘To th...
