I work in a nursing home and let me just say: it is infuriating and heartbreaking at the same time. Our residents have been stuck in their rooms for about a month now, no visitors, and they aren't even allowed to go out on our front porch with a mask while practising social distancing. They are all restless and I swear getting cabin fever. Several of my bed bound residents who had family coming 3 times a day are losing their hair! But they all have windows and their loved ones come to them, it's just not the same. It is truly frustrating because there is nothing I can do personally to fix it other than let them use my phone.
Amen, brotha. Nursing homes don't get treated the same way as hospitals do in terms of equipment, funding, etc. My wife's facility does not have enough masks for everyone still because those have been stockpiled for hospitals and emergency responders.
So I do my bit. Whatever wife wants for dinner, hubby makes happen. Wife wants steak? Medium rare, no problem.

Respect and Gratitude for everyone who works to take care of our seniors. Pass it on.
