A visiting booth has been installed at a Denbighshire care home.
The booth, installed at Dolwen in Denbigh which is managed by Denbighshire County Council, was designed and built by staff member Erfyl Jones, who is a support worker at the home.
The booth has allowed residents at the care home, who have been unable to mix since December, to reunite.
Once restrictions around visiting care homes have been changed, the booth can be used by families and friends visiting loved ones.
Dolwen residents Olwen Lloyd and Janet Kenyon Thompson were the first to use the booth after it was installed on February 11.
Cllr Bobby Feeley, the Council’s Lead Member for Well-being and Independence, said: “I would like to thank Erfyl for his work designing and building the visiting booth which has been a great boost for residents.
“It has helped residents interact with friends from different sections of the home, which for safety reasons have been kept separate. I’m pleased to see how much joy this has brought to our residents.
“Once the regulations around visiting care homes change, this booth will provide friends and family the chance to visit their loved ones in a safe way.”
