Our mother Joan

Please, please help. Our mother is 96 and bedbound having suffered with Alzheimer's for over 20 years. We can only communicate with her by touch & in very close proximity. We have not been able to do this for 7 months, even when the care home allowed us to visit outdoors in July, we couldn't get close enough so mum didn't know we were there. I'm dreading the day I get the call to say she has passed away.
