Photo Story: Portugal facilitates meetings for the elderly with ‘Emotion Boxes’

Isabel Barreto, a resident of the União Mutualista Nossa Senhora da Conceição (Mutualist Union Our Lady of the Conception) retirement home in Montijo, during the first visit of her relatives after two months without being able to do so, in Montijo, Portugal.

In order for family members to be able to visit the residents of the home, the Box das Emoções (lit.: Box of Emotions) was created, a small room that meets all the safety standards required by the contingency plan in force for the covid-19, equipped with microphones and that allows visits without any of the residents of the home going outside and without any of the family members having direct contact with the facilities.
