Hi,
For those who live a considerable distance from the Care Home, are you visiting during this lockdown? I spoke to the local police online to ask whether travelling 75 miles is permitted. On the Gov.UK website it is currently saying that Care Home visits are permitted (but type of visit is down to the Care Home to decide).
Police said that the distance is problematic and they wouldn't/couldn't tell me whether I would be fined if I was stopped. They suggested getting a letter from the Care Home but said this may not be taken into consideration.
I'm also supposed to be checking weekly on my mothers empty house as stipulated by her home insurance. It's hard to know what is classed as essential. It's not life and death but the insurance will be void if a pipe bursts and I've not checked the house for 2 weeks. I was also going to ask the Insurance company for a letter too in case I was stopped.
My questions is, are you travelling a distance to visit your family member in a Care Home?
Thanks,
B.
