Barratt London has donated a tablet to Sai Ram Villa Care Home on Headstone Drive, Harrow, to help residents stay connected with friends and family during the Covid-19 outbreak.
The tablet, which was delivered to the care home this week, will be available for all residents to use to keep in contact with loved ones, which will help to improve mental health and wellbeing.
Everybody at Sai Ram Villa Care Home said: “We are so thankful that our residents can now stay connected to their families during this time. Everyone at Sai Ram Villa is extremely happy that they can now see and talk to their children, grandchildren and other loved ones. Our thanks go to Barratt London for its generous donation of the tablet.”
Ed McCoy, Sales and Marketing Director for Barratt West London, said: “As residents at Sai Ram Villa Care Home are unable to receive visits from loved ones due to current social distancing measures, residents are relying on technology to keep in contact with friends and family. We hope that our donation will help residents feel more connected to loved ones during these unprecedented times.”
As part of its UK response to support the fight against coronavirus, Barratt Developments has also gifted £100,000 to the NHS Charities Together appeal, which supports 250 NHS charities across the UK collectively. It has also donated personal protective items, including thousands of high quality FFP3 face masks, gloves and hand sanitiser, to local NHS hospitals and social care services.
Ed McCoy adds: “It is essential for companies like us to donate this essential equipment to where it is urgently needed, and support those who are on the frontline. We are indebted to the NHS and other key workers, and so where we can assist with their efforts and help to save lives, both here in Harrow and across the UK, we will continue to do everything we can.”

Residents and staff were treated to uplifting tunes when Ukulele Piddle visited our home. He had to stay in the garden, but everyone could see him through the windows and hear his wonderful repertoire. Paul, aka Mr Piddle, plays a wide variety of tunes to engage people and brighten their day. He plays at care homes and day centres across Wiltshire and also in Memory Clubs and Singing for the Brain events.
Keeping our residents happy and safe, enjoying the beautiful weather in the sensory garden, and then a cheese and wine tasting.
Eleven year old Harry, took it upon himself to make bunting for each of our residents, in order to brighten their day and let each resident know that the wider community are thinking of them.
The kindly donated bunting has been placed in the window of each resident’s rooms, which coincided with our VE day celebrations.
