Not posted for ages but just wanted to ask how much variation there is in how individual homes interpret the relaxation of rules regarding care home visits.
I last saw Mum early December and shortly afterward the home was closed due to a Covid outbreak, by the time it reopened my daughter and husband had been diagnosed with Covid and then after that my son got it.
I had planned to visit Mum on Saturday only to be told they had another couple of Covid cases so now they were closed to visitors for the next 14 days.
I know early in the pandemic the virus ran rife in care homes with awful consequences so I understand the caution but now all the residents are vaccinated, staff & visitors surely a visit to their special Covid suite would be allowed. I did not make a fuss as I really do feel they have to be cautious but I was disappointed and wondered how other families have found things in their loved ones homes.
