In order to improve social connection among residents of assisted living and nursing home facilities during the COVID-19 crisis, this project will pilot Conversation Cafes that will provide a weekly virtual gathering place for residents and their families. It will also provide for the installation of high-speed internet where none exists, installation of Wi-Fi boosters where there are weak or intermittent signals, and platform-specific training for staff.
