Sydney aged care facility sets up ‘visitor pods’ so family can visit
A Sydney nursing home has come up with an ingenious way to allow their residents to connect with loved ones until in-person visits are allowed.
A visitor’s pod has set up in the car park of Ashfield Baptist homes which separates people by a pane of glass but is a little more personal than a video call.
The pod is set up with comfortable chairs and the residents and visitors can chat to each other on the phone while just a few metres apart.
Sister Eileen Hardman and Trish Yelland have been catching up like this until they are allowed to hug again.
“We got our menu planned and everything,” they told 9News
