The software also helps residents with health issues, including those with dementia and Alzheimer’s.
The G-Touch screen also has speakers and a video conferencing camera to provide viewings of videos, TV shows and movies as well as being a communication tool to video call loved ones.
Sussexdown activities organiser Emma Mitchell said: “We are beyond grateful to the Friends of Sussexdown for this generous donation to provide such an important device to residents in our care.”
