We haven't seen our dad since 28th July. Initially due to a hospital admission where there was no visiting, and now as he's in a care home. We've gone from speaking and facetiming every day (during lockdown) and now struggling to contact the home where he is as the staff are understandably busy. He quite often tells us he thinks he's 'done for as he doesn't understand why he's there without us and why we're not seeing him. His mood is so low that the staff have to prompt him to shower and eat.
