Tommy and Julie Dring with Bridget in the new visitors’ pod. A MIDDLESBROUGH care home has devised an ingenious way to enable families to visit their loved ones back inside the home for the first time since the Covid-19 national lockdown in March. Longlands Care Home has created a visitors’ ‘pod’ which enables people to safely see and talk to residents in the home. It has provided a welcome pre-Christmas boost for residents and their families, many of whom have not seen each other face-to-face for nine months. The pod has been created by installing a new window and microphone system between the conservatory and one of the dining rooms at Longlands, which is situated on Longlands Road.
