When Your Loved One is in a Nursing Home During the Coronavirus Pandemic
|
Q. My husband, Bill, is currently in a nursing home with frontotemporal dementia. We are not able to visit him at this time, which is especially difficult for him and for us. He is declining quickly, so I was trying to visit at least twice a week before, but I understand that it’s for the safety of the residents and staff.
I heard about coronavirus spreading in a nursing home in Washington state and now more recently in West Virginia, so of course I’m concerned about it happening here. I worry most about the staff and other residents who may appear healthy with no symptoms but still come to work and possibly infect residents. What are some good questions to ask the management at my husband’s nursing home to ensure that
he is safe?
