Dear Dad, I'm so sorry we haven't been allowed to visit you since early March. We think of you throughout the day and send our love - but that doesn't make up for the in-person support you so desperately need from us. It's a disgrace that the national and local govts have failed to support people in care homes. There are safe arrangements that could be made to allow family members to visit their loved ones without putting anyone at risk - but all we've come across is box-ticking incompetence.
