An Ohio man found a very creative way to spend time with his elderly mother during a coronavirus lockdown.

Charley Adams had been unable to see his 80-year-old mom Julia Adams since her assisted living home in New Middletown was placed on lockdown with no visitors allowed — so he used a cherry picker to check on her in her third-floor room, News5 Cleveland reported.

“[My mother] kept calling me and saying she wanted to go out to dinner,” said Adams, who typically takes his mother out for a meal twice a week.

“I kept explaining to her, ‘Mom, that’s not possible … you can’t do that right now.’ She was getting a little bit frustrated and disappointed.”

So Adams, an arborist, came up with the creative idea to use his company’s bucket truck to say hi to his mom.

The truck’s boom was just high enough to reach her third-floor window.

When she saw him, “She [said], ‘Oh, my awesome kid, what are you doing?,” Adams said.

And since the story started grabbing the public’s attention, Adams says his mom no longer feels lonely.

“[Friends and family] are calling her. It’s been really great because all of the phone calls really cheer her up,” he said.
