Hi all. My mother has dementia and since she couldn't get hang of calling or answering i made i 8.5 x 11 sign and framed it and told staff to put by portal that read. To call say to picture, hey portal call betsy with picture of Betsy and all 4 daughters with picture on each line followed by Hey portal call "name" when we call and she can't answer she reads frame and talks to it snd portal hears and calls. One day portal was face down but she read picture frame and called. Hope this helps some. This coronavirus lockdown is making our elderly with dementia decline quickly with no human interaction. My mother is so depressed would be nice if FB heard our pleas for help
