My Mum moved to a nursing home on Thursday and as a special nod to it being her 90th birthday today my sister was allowed to visit her today While a bunch of the rest of us went to do a window visit.
When we arrived the member of staff who opened the door quarantined all of Mum’s presents , cards and her birthday cake for three days as per “ the law”
She now has a visitor who has had to explain that no one has been allowed to give her anything despite her reaching this grand age Which is proving tricky due to her Alzheimers.
As a family we are totally gutted, we waved her in on Thursday and if we had been told then that quarantine was required we could have driven home and picked up her presents. No one told us we couldn’t give gifts and this law means that she cannot have her favourite food of the moment, apple turnovers, as they will always be out of date before they are released to her.
I can’t find out about this law anywhere atm but maybe I am looking in the wrong place.
I do know I am at the end of my tether, it’s been a long journey to get Mum into a good home and now we are faced with another set of hurdles to manage. we can’t even complain about the very aggressive member of staff either as we can’t risk losing her placement.
thanks for listening!
