Person Centred Software are opening up their Relatives Gateway platform to all UK care homes FREE of charge to help you maintain communication with families during these unprecedented times.
Relatives Gateway allows secure messages and photos to be shared between care home residents and their families, it will also give carers an efficient way to provide wellbeing updates to concerned loved ones.
Professor Martin Green OBE, Chief Executive of Care England, commended the initiative by saying: “This will help Care Homes maintain isolation, but at the same time, enable people to keep in contact with relatives, friends and loved ones.”
Jonathan Papworth, founder and director of Person Centred Software says this could be a vital lifeline. To watch his short video and find out more about how you can get Relatives Gateway for FREE for your care home visit www.personcentredsoftware.com/covid19response
Following on from the overwhelming response, and 50% increase in usage of Relatives Gateway, we have now upgraded our Relatives Gateway platform with video calling to keep residents connected with their loved ones during the COVID-19 outbreak.
