My wife who has Alzheimer’s disease, is in a Care Home and due to her lack of mobility, is confined to her bed on the first floor.
I live alone, have no underlying health problems and have not displayed any symptoms of the virus.
I have not been permitted to visit my wife in her room since March and because of her lack of mobility and the location of her room, have not been able to take advantage of garden or “through the window visits”.
Can someone explain to me why a visit to my wife’s room (without going into communual areas (other than along a short corridor) puts residents, staff or others at more risk than the succession of Carers who come from their homes to work ,move throughout the building and have close contact with residents ?
