Sounds like if the previous manager was given the boot there were lots of other things going on at the home, maybe below the surface, that you didn't know about. And the new manager has had to hit the ground running, desperately hoping to turn things around in her first couple of weeks.
But you've spoken to her (or rather, she has spoken to you!) so it's a start. The testing situation sounds horrific. I can't believe they were given inadequate tests to use. If they think they know who is positive but actually don't know, any measures they take will not be effective
You've made a start with the new manager so let's hope it improves. I do agree that her attitude to you missing your mum 'just' cos you're a boy is inappropriate.
