Dad went into a care home during lockdown. There are times where he doesn't understand why I can't see him and he gets very distressed. This maybe an unpopular opinion but, my Father's care home don't value visits enough for the residents wellbeing. As long as we are careful, why can't we visit more regularly or more skype/video calls. More personalised, holistic care is needed for those in care homes.
