It goes without saying that the past year has been an extremely challenging one, with the COVID-19 pandemic completely changing how most of us have been able to go about our lives.
Unable to see our loved ones or enjoy the activities we usually would, the pandemic has left many feeling isolated, particularly elderly and vulnerable members of the community who may be living alone, need to shield or are less mobile.
These feelings of loneliness and a disconnection from the outside world are only too familiar for the residents at Simonsfield Residential Care Home in Anfield.
