Hello, I'm starting a conversation about elderly parents / loved-ones who are potentially isolated and struggling to adapt to these challenging times. How have you stayed in touch? What technology have you found that's more user-friendly? I've tried Zoom but my elderly relatives struggled a bit...

Here's a Facebook group where people swap tips to look after their older parents in lockdown if anyone wants to join:

Also a Help Directory full of useful websites/resources on the topic of supporting elderly people in isolation. It's made by Two Generations, who are inviting people to add more suggestions to the directory smile
