The lack of contact and touch between thse in care and their families during lockdown has caused deep distress to those in care and led to severe mental deterioration in many.
I can well understand this lady wanting to take her mother home and care for her. Why the nursing home did not let her do so is puzzling, if she could cope for a few months.
The most damning thing that can be said of this governmnt during COVID is the utterly inhumane way it has treated the weakest in society, those in care. From its utter disregard of those in care from the start; sending COVID patients back to care homes, the lack of PPE for staff and lack of testing, sometimes lack of medical care in Wave 1, to the way it has done nothing, and continues to do nothing to find ways of allowing visits, just saying that care homes know best.
No wonder relatives, like the one in question, want to protect the mental and physical health of someone in care by taking them home, for at least a short period.
