No Visitors, But Staying Engaged

Since early March, The Mayflower Community Health Center and Beebe Assisted Living buildings have been closed to visitors, with the exception of compassionate visits at the end of life. Fortunately, as of today (May 19th), not a single case of COVID-19 has been diagnosed among Mayflower residents or staff. Something is working!

For our residents in healthcare, the isolation can get pretty lonely, especially as they maintain social distancing and empty dining rooms.

So, how do you socialize? In senior living, there is one popular method: Bingo! Separate tables. No seeing other players’ cards for the call you missed. No grumbling about the square not yet called. But, it works. Pictured here is part of the dining room full of players listening to Tina Frascht make the calls.

Life is somewhat restricted…but it is working!
