Hello,
With my Mother’s assisted living facility on lockdown, I talk briefly with my Mother who has Parkinson's with Lewy Body. The symptoms seem to be progressing this last month, including more sleeping during the day and limited walking with assistance.
Is there anything I can ask the caregivers and nurses to do besides comfort and care?
I feel so bad not being there to help and comfort her. Thank you for your advice.
I thought they would let me in. We have been with the same caretakers/facility for over 8 years combined with mom and aunt... I can't see her.. But I go and knock and see the caretakers. give them something for them and for the residents. treats do help sometimes...
I may try this weekend with full body armor,, wetsuit, mask, snorkel, fins...
ok... mask, gloves. and plastic over my feet... Perhaps they will let me in 5 feet to her room, so I can pop my head in, and look at her... usually she is asleep...not much stimuli going on there, anymore...
I suppose you could speak to the staff when they have the time. That may make you feel better to know what is going on.
Hopefully, they are able to give her adequate attention and she is comfortable.
Best wishes to and your family. Take care.
My aunt seemed more confused than the last time I saw her... She is in a 6 pack, and I was dropping off supplies,,, but she seemed like she was more out of it...
I truly feel that it is not good for family members being withdrawn... I understand... but... really? Maybe I don't understand.... I ran in, didn't get near anybody... dropped off supplies and scurried out....I had a mask on.. I forgot the gloves, but just held onto the bag of stuff I was dropping off. My friend said I was putting all lives in jeopardy... yikes... don't want to be blamed for that.... a 2 minute visit? I guess it doesn't take much.
