I had a call from my uncle's partner recently. My uncle lives in a long term care home and suffers from Alzheimer's. It seems she was finally able to visit him after about 3 months (since the covid lockdown started). She was required to make an appointment for the 45 minute visit through plexiglass and all masked up. It was difficult she said, not being able to even hold his hand or touch him. We spoke about the horrible problems in the long term care homes that have been highlighted during the covid outbreak. They simply have to do something about the conditions there. Meanwhile we all hope we die before we have to go live in one.

My goodness. I am so sorry, this is sad. And heartbreaking. I can imagine it would be difficult.
Sorry about your uncle's condition! The visit of his partner, softens it a bit, but still the overall picture is a sad, heartbreaking one.
Beautiful piece, Yes, it's sad about conditions in some homes. I hope I never have to be in one! Hugs, Valerie
They are allowing outdoor visits with masks, provided you have had a negative covid test at the facility where my mother-in-law is. Husband still needs to go for the test first. The people working there get a temperature test every day they go to work and get a covid test every two weeks. -Jenn
At least she got to visit. Yes over here too - most of the Scottish deaths have been care home related :-(
it must be hard for her to reach him while crossing many obstacles indeed
it is terrible ,still we should keep eye on filled part of glass and not give up hope as hope is all we got
i truly loved this flower peaking through wall dear Christine it is metaphorically beautiful and represents hope that makes it's way through odds
Sadly there have been all too many situations like this.
Today I blamed past our old people's home and I saw a couple standing at a fence and their mother in a wheelchair talking about it, these conditions are bad. I'm sorry!
You painted a beautiful picture
Greetings Elke
That's exactly how I feel too. I want to die in my own house, not some nursing facility.
Being in a long term care facility is bad enough. Through in COVID and it's a nightmare.
I like your painting. Flowers up against a fence are always pretty. So sorry to hear about your uncle and his partner. Such a sad situation for them and for many in these places.
Nice art
Beautiful
Sad about the condition. God always bless you
It sad all way around of care places
That really is heartbreaking; so sorry for your Uncle.
The conditions are awful. It's a situation that needs a lot of improvement.
oh, your sweet uncle living through this in a home. Love the beautiful flower.
I do not want to live long enough to spend my years like that.
I like your art here Christine.
It is so sad about conditions in some of our care homes.
All the best Jan
This is so sad. Our care homes had been COVID free until just recently. I hope that will be the last time. I hope.
