I have to mention this, as I literally couldn’t believe my ears. So, on the Nick Ferrari (LBC) show this morning, he was talking about care home residents, and this new law that will end the current barbaric laws that say if you take your elderly relative out for an afternoon, that resident would then have to self isolate in their bedroom at the home for 2 WEEKS! This is now being changed, as it rightly should, but then a woman phoned in, and said that the Care Home where her mother is, will NOT allow any residents to see family members in person, until 2 weeks AFTER their second Covid Vaccine!!!
This is completely unacceptable, but apparently more and more Care Homes are applying this rule.
So, the other week, it was “all care home staff” should be vaccinated - or get another job. To this, all relatives who want to see their loved ones in person, have to be 2 weeks post covid jab before they will allow it.!!! Are these Care Homes just making things up as they go along??
The woman who rang in, actually said that her mother is put to bed at 2.30pm - and spends around 16 hours a day on her own. This is so cruel it actually breaks my heart.. as my dad was a resident in a care home, and he sadly died from Alzheimer’s. I would do anything to see him again, and these poor souls that are in care homes, are just fading away because they cannot understand why their loved ones aren’t seeing them..
Also, just to point out, that there are some fantastic care homes out there. So this is hopefully the minority who are applying these rules..
It’s on the last thread, I’ll have a look for you.
This is fantastic news!!
