Keep in contact with our residents. Send emails!
In these hectic times it's not always easy for relatives and friends to visit as often as they might like.
But that's no reason not to stay in touch on a regular basis! Just email your relative or friend at Grafton Lodge and we will print out your message and make sure they get it. For those residents with poor eyesight, one of our friendly carers will read out the message.
People are often reluctant to put pen to paper and write a proper letter nowadays, but an email is the perfect 21st century replacement.
Ideal for grandchildren and great-grandchildren to stay in touch
Encourage grandchildren and great-grandchildren to send regular, chatty emails. Our residents love to hear what's going on in their lives.
How to email our residents
Just send an email using your usual email program to:
Make sure you include their name in the Subject, eg: 'Mrs Smith - Message from Alfie'
You should be aware that the contents of your email will not be private, and will be read by our staff in order to determine who it is for, and sometimes to read it out loud for those with poor eyesight. Think of it as a 'postcard', rather than a private 'letter in an envelope'.
Don't forget to say who it's from, either!
At the moment our residents are not able to respond by email, but of course they can reply by letter or phone if they wish to.
