Last Wednesday, the family of respected Kingston artist Shirley Hulley made their weekly 'window-visit' to her at Frontenac County-managed Fairmount Home. Since the Covid-19 lockdown, they have been unable to enter the building, but fortunately "Hulley", as she's affectionately called, has a ground-floor room, and delights in their visits. Her family have to communicate with her via iphone, and have drawn pictures and messages (in reverse printing) on the glass. They maintain a tiny green hummingbird feeder right outside the window, too.
Other families have been able to hold similar visits with relatives through the windows of the large ground-floor common room. They book half-hour times, and a staff member helps set up the phone connection. Fairmount has been able to remain Covid-free so far.
