With Covid-19 social distancing rules in place at aged care facilities to protect residents from the risk of contracting the virus, Margaret Wheeler was unable to hug her granddaughter Alice Sarah-Lay – or see her, other than through the window of the Trentham Aged Care Facility. Despite the pane of glass between them, Margaret's face still lit up at the sight of her granddaughter when she came for her regular visit.
