Nursing home patients are in a touch spot right now. They always love to have visitors and see family, but given the COVID-19 outbreak it is too great a risk to allow people inside the facilities. Many of us have seen the photos of husbands, wives or grown children talking to or hanging out with their family members through windows and such just to get a moment to spend with them. The Rotary Club of Springdale had their own idea.

From Rotary Club Of Springdale Facebook:

With novel viruses come novel opportunities in the community! Today we delivered 50 tablets to six different long-term care facilities in Springdale - these will be used by residents to stay in touch with their families and alleviate some of the boredom they're experiencing due to decreased social interaction. These tablets were purchased by the Springdale Rotary Charitable Trust with matching funds from local corporate partner Quadrivium. Thank you to Rotarian Jessica Ann Darst for the idea, to the Board for its support, and to Clinton Bell for his generosity on behalf of Quadrivium!
