All your hard work getting the house ready for the market has paid off @Palerider. It may be bitter sweet for you but even so, well done.
I wonder what will happen come Winter too.I do wonder what will happen with inside visiting in the winter.
I fully understand that the govt. wouldn't want a repeat of the previous fiasco, but it feels like people in care homes are like prisoners. Mum wonders why we can't go out, as previously, for a coffee in the park.
That's good @Palerider. I've just had an automated reply from mine, but as he is in the middle of a leadership campaign I expect it might take longer than usual to get a proper reply.
I was thinking of you today, hoping you were well, the house sale was progressing and you were thinking of positive plans for the future. I also hope your mum is holing her own, and that you get to see her properly soon.
@Palerider I hope you get a response soon. It is good that they are forwarding it on, just hope they are not passing the buck.
My Mum is now on end of life care and I and other close family members can visit, with prior arrangement. We have to wear masks, gloves and aprons and have our temperature taken on arrival. We can then go and sit near her in her room - she is now bed-bound.
We access the unit by a back route to avoid other residents.
Sadly Mummy has had a sudden decline and is now not eating or drinking. She may rally but we don't really know how long we have. I have to say the home have been great and I was able to visit as soon as I was notified of the decline. I feel so sad to be in this position but also for those who are not being able to visit.
I do wonder about the local interpretation of the rules by individual homes. Sadly, the recent national guidance wasn't a lot of help.
