It appears from several press reports that Care Homes are set to be used once again as a dumping ground for elderly Covid patients discharged from hospital. What HAS the Government been doing all summer? Do they really have no better solution than to kill off the elderly? Meanwhile the Nightingale centres are more or less empty.
Is it not enough that residents have been denied their basic human rights by being separated from family and partners for months? It’s extremely difficult for everyone. These days are precious.
The mental health of many has suffered, as is the case with my own mother (87) who is just overwhelmed by it all.
My Dad’s 30 minutes per week visit (that’s all they allow due to “staff shortages”) is really inadequate.
And then they announce this too…disgusted.
