Will we ever get to see our Loved Ones, currently locked in Care Homes?? I doubt it!
If you had to choose a Care Home now, what would you look for?
I‘d look for a small Home, with lower numbers of residents, with unrestricted garden access, a place where Management ensured they communicated with Relatives, weekly. A Person Centred place which fully catered for each individual’s needs.
The thing is once your Loved One is in a Home, its a massive event to take them out, so very few do.
If you are looking for a Care Home, think very very carefully.
Personally in these new times, I would avoid it, unless absolutely essential, arrange for as much Care to be brought into the Home, otherwise you will rarely see your Loved One and it feels like you loose complete control and the Home takes over.
