Hi, Its truly distressing anyway and COVID doesn't help, sending heartfelt empathy. Don't forget there is kindness and support in the care home 24/7 to reassure and comfort, try not to torture yourself ?I truly hope so.. ?

Back in November my in laws both went into a care home, into an isolation suite. We were allowed in that area only on the day to help settle them in. Not sure if that was unique or because we were in a different place with Covid.. I hope they settle in well. At least you can do in person visits now.I’m so concerned, mum has to go into residential care for her own safety, but we have been told we are not allowed to be there on the day of the move to settle her. I’m so worried.. is this normal???
I really hope my mum settles..@Nads1969 - when Mummy went into a care home, although we planned things, I found it very hard. We didn't visit for a while, as per advice from the home. When I went, I was an emotional wreck. Mummy, however, was laughing with the staff and enjoying a gardening activity. We were lucky that she settled well, but it can happen and I believe a care home was the best option for her at that point. She was happy in an environment where less was expected of her and there were lots of people around. She formed very strong bonds with the staff, which was something I didn't expect, but really helped her.
