MiL care home has asked for no visitors for the next 2 weeks. That will tough on FiL - not so much for MiL as she has no memory at all.

Three Swindon care homes have decided to close to all visitors today at 5pm. OH made sure she visited her Ma yesterday as we are expecting the same at the nursing home soon. I believe this is called cocooning and there is some sense to it swindonadvertiser.co.uk |

My dad's care home has a locked door and *all* visitors have to be let in by staff (previously "regulars" were allowed to know the key code). Only immediate next of kin too - they queried who I was. Seems reasonable to me though I can't be too optimistic about its success over the duration. But what can you do...a full-time lock-out (for how long?) would be very hard on the interns and the staff will probably still bring in the disease anyway. My dad is mumbling and at times we really couldn't make out what he was saying at all, which is a shame and a change from previous. Ho hum. |

Thoughts are with you Chris x Having issues with mother again - being nasty, demanding, playing up and basically pushing everyone away with her behaviour. It's so bloody hard |
