Bjorn (31) hires aerial work platform to visit grandma (92) | Inland

He hired an aerial platform on Thursday to be able to delight Grandma Kluin in Emmeloord with a visit, at an appropriate distance, he tells De Telegraaf. “The whole family now often talks about grandma, that nobody can go there anymore and they found that difficult. I wanted to do a cup of tea with her, but of course that is not possible. So then I thought, how can we fix this? ”

Bjorn called Boels rental company and presented his idea to the company. They thought it was a good idea and lent a cherry picker to him. “I had not informed any family, the nursing home also knew nothing, because I thought: they probably see bears on the road. I just started doing it. Five minutes before I went up, I had my mom on FaceTime. When I told her I was with Grandma, she said, “You shouldn’t. No one is allowed in. “But when I told her about my plan, she went from skepticism to fun in half a minute.”

Shuffleboard

Employees of the care home, who had come out, checked for Bjorn whether his grandmother was in her room. She was, and she was happy when her grandson suddenly appeared at the window. “She really enjoyed it. I brought a shuffleboard and a crossword puzzle. And I had a tea pot filled with warm water. Grandma is also fond of knitting, but I can’t. ”

Bjorn eventually stayed up for two hours. “Grandma is feeling well. She is very careful. But she scored 143 with shuffleboard, which is not normal! ”

The staff of the care home received positive reactions to his action. Friends and acquaintances can also appreciate the stunt. “I received more messages than on my birthday.”
