I have seen my nan once in 8 months. She has aged considerably and looks even more lost than she did before this pandemic. My nan had Alzheimer's and probably feels like we have abandoned her. The long goodbye of this horrible disease has been worsened by your protocol in care homes. it is ok for carers to come back and forth between their work, shopping, family life and be within 1 foot of my nan...but we cant. Why are we being robbed of the last months or days with our loved ones...shocking ?
