My mother and stepdad

Lockdown for my mother and step father has been the worst time of their lives. They have declined both physically and mentally to a degree that it will be impossible to fix. My mum had a fall and broke her hip so needed an emergency operation . The op was successful but not one of her family was allowed to visit so from being a physically fit person living with dementia she came out of hospital near to death. Excluding personal contact absolutely really accelerated their dementia.
