this is what a family reunion looks like
under lockdown the way so many of us
have been keeping in touch with each
other
just don't make sense to everyone
zooming talking I bet for most our
residents we all got Alzheimer's or
dementia in one state or another it's
too difficult they don't all understand
it's a real-time it's life it's a person
they're talking to only iPads they think
it's a picture or a movie so they don't
respond so for me being able to really
see her as the way she walks
just just her whole body and her body
language is incredible
everybody prefers to really see and
touch and feel and hug your mom but it's
better than then nothing how do you
explain to an 85 year old woman with
dementia who just lost her husband and
went into a nursing home
two weeks before lockdown that the whole
world has changed not just hers it's
happier that I can see down this is a
strange world for me so I have been
always very happy and now I'm bit less
happy
this glass house offers a quick fix a
chance to remind relatives in real life
that they haven't been forgotten
