Our mum is in a nursing home & has been since March following surgery which resulted in her having a below knee amputation. We have not seen her except through a window. She has dementia aswell & doesn’t understand why we can’t visit her properly or take her out for lunch or a drive like we always used to. She is going downhill & psychologically we can see her decline. The staff are wonderful but she needs her family. We would happily wear PPE & take a test to ensure her safety. This is cruel.
