Not being able to see my mum, who is living with Alzheimer's and lives in a Care Home, for weeks and weeks on end, not even being able to use Facetime as she just doesn't understand whats going on, is absolutely heartbreaking. Why can't one family member be tested weekly so that our loved doesn't feel that they have been forgotten and abandoned. The deterioration in my mum has been so dramatic. It is surely in the best interest of residents of Care Homes to have that family, loving contact.
