In November 2020 the Scottish Government committed funding to ensure that all of Scotland’s care homes have access to digital devices, connectivity and support to help their residents enjoy the benefits of online access.
The purpose of this funding is to provide residents in care homes with a package solution that enables them to use digital devices to support their health, wellbeing and connection with family and friends.
This week the 1000th application was received – however that means that a large number of care homes still have not taken up the opportunity to receive a device for use by the people they support and applications can still be made.
