Our darling Mum has Parkinson's dementia. She has been in a nursing home for six years. She has deteriorated significantly both physically and mentally since March. Our best form of communication with her is being with her and touch. We have seen her become increasingly distressed due to this lack of connection. I don't know how long we have left together. Our hearts are breaking. The government must look at the care home situation as a matter of urgency during this pandemic.
