"Use of Facetime to Connect with Loved One"

During the pandemic, when visiting was not allowed, the recreation therapy staff in the facility arranged for me to facetime with my loved one every Tuesday at 3 PM.  This was wonderful! Now that life is more or less back to normal, we travel quite a lot and now live a three hour drive from the facility where my loved one lives. It would be wonderful if this sort of connectivity could be continued during 'normal' times. It is also an opportunity to connect with at least one member of care staff, when visiting it is not always possible to find the staff member that actually knows our family member well.
