My elderly father (93) has been kept in FVRH for over 4 weeks awaiting assessment and a care package. He’s of sound mind but mainly bedridden. The lack of a proper public WiFi system is causing extreme stress as he’s unable to contact family or entertain himself by browsing the internet. The poor mobile reception means he can’t phone either. On top of it all the TV provided has no remote control and requires manual changing of TV channels. BBC 1 @ station 1 takes a lifetime to change to a radio channel @ 731. It’s technology that was outdated 20 years ago.
Communication with family and friends is probably the most effective and economic medicine that any health care facility could subscribe. In this day and age, there’s no excuse for poor WiFi.
