Halloween joy can come from handing a piece of candy to a young visitor—or seeing a familiar face on a video call.
At Gulfport Care Center in Gulfport, Mississippi, both were part of the celebration. Residents welcomed young trick-or-treaters and handed out candy, while Gulf Coast Connection Services (GCCS) used an Apolosign Portable TV to help a resident connect with loved ones from their room.
From greeting children in person to catching up with family across a distance, the celebration offered residents different ways to participate and enjoy time together.
Bringing a Portable TV on Wheels to the Bedside
For residents who cannot easily leave their rooms, joining activities in a shared space may require additional support. A portable TV on wheels gives staff another way to bring a conversation closer.
During the Halloween celebration, GCCS moved an Apolosign Portable TV to a resident’s bedside and assisted with a video call. The wheeled stand made it possible to position the screen near the resident, allowing them to remain in a familiar, comfortable setting.
GCCS provided the preparation and personal assistance that helped make the call happen. Apolosign provided a practical tool: a larger screen that could move to where it was needed.
A Portable Smart TV for Flexible Everyday Use
The Apolosign portable smart TV combines a 32-inch 4K display, a built-in 15,000mAh battery, and a wheeled stand. Together, these features offer flexibility in where and how the screen can be used.
Compared with a phone, the 32-inch display provides more room to see faces during a video conversation. It also offers a larger viewing area for demonstrations and shared learning activities.
The built-in battery supports use away from a power outlet, giving staff more options when positioning the screen. The wheeled design makes it easier to move the device between a resident’s room and communal areas.
Whether supporting a bedside conversation or displaying instructions during a technology lesson, a movable screen can serve different needs throughout the day.
Sharing Halloween with Family and the Community
At Gulfport Care Center, residents joined in the Halloween fun by welcoming young trick-or-treaters and handing out candy. Alongside these in-person festivities, GCCS used an Apolosign Portable TV to help a resident connect with loved ones from their bedside.
GCCS shared a glimpse of the celebration on Facebook, highlighting how community visits and a bedside video call brought people together. Take a look at the post below for moments from the day.
Helping Residents Learn, Connect, and Stay Involved
The holiday video call was one example of GCCS’s broader work helping residents use technology in everyday life.
Founded by Vanessa Welch, Gulf Coast Connection Services supports nursing home and assisted living residents by arranging video calls, adjusting accessibility settings, and answering questions about devices.
For someone unfamiliar with smart devices, patient guidance and hands-on practice can make learning more approachable. Through the Gulfport program, GCCS uses Apolosign Portable TV to support technology instruction and help residents learn ways to stay in touch with family and friends.
The larger screen provides space to demonstrate steps and explain features. Staff members offer the individual assistance that helps residents put those lessons into practice, extending opportunities for connection beyond a single holiday.
