In my limited experience of care homes, (short and sweet) the one MIL was in is very well run, but up until they locked down on March 3rd ( earlier than most homes) the Manager did not get involved in the day to day care and wasn’t qualified, she was a business manager, staffing level manager, HR manager, if it’s broken get someone into fix it Manager. So far no one in the home has had Covid 19, so they are doing something right. I wouldn’t expect her to have the time to do Nursing Care as well in ordinary times, maybe Care Homes need a Manager plus a fully trained Nursing Manager ?
When I hear that a lot of Care homes have no PPE equipment I wonder how they have survived for so long in the past without the residents dropping like flies, surely it’s common sense? Hence the need for a Nurse to also be in charge,
As to getting back to normal, I don’t think that DH and I will, until a vaccine is developed, and until every home has a study so that people can work from home, I think it would be pretty tiresome to have to work in the kitchen or living room.
Yesterday we had at least 5 planes go overhead, for the past few weeks only 1 or 2 a week, so it looks as though the flights have started ramping up again.
