New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
The Rotary Club of New Bedford recently donated new computers set up with the ability to Skype to 4 local Nursing/Rehabilitation Homes in New Bedford. This program spearheaded by President Linda Silveira offers residents a way of contacting relatives and friends to have live chats right from their rooms. Computers were purchased with money raised locally and allocated to a segment of the community that we at Rotary feel could benefit greatly. Many elderly patients are often left with no way to reach out to friends and relatives that live out of the area. We made the computers mobile by setting up with carts for moving from one room to another without a problem, we also set up another version that is also mobile and offers touchscreen technology.
