Resident Irene Howlett with a letter from the Italian student
RESIDENTS at a North-East care home are discovering there’s no place like Rome during the Covid-19 pandemic.
With restrictions preventing indoor visits to care homes in the UK, Longlands Residential Care Home, in Middlesbrough, has turned to Italy as a way of keeping up the spirits of residents, as well as keeping their minds occupied.
Last summer, a resident named Pasquale Mongillo sadly passed away at Longlands, but his family were so grateful for the care and support he received at the home. They even sent the home a tree to plant in the garden in Pasquale’s memory.
