  1. It’s so weird that with the negative test result, it is impossible to hold hands of the loved ones. Even the social care workers can touch them in this VDO not even having the daily test. Is it really true In the USA as it doesn’t make any sense.

  2. I think this is absolutely terrible. The dementia population needs their family there to advocate for them 24/7. The isolation from everyone I bet will kill more dementia patients then COVID itself. These are people, they have feelings and they need to be comforted by their family and not only that, they need to be advocated for to make sure everything is ok when they are in the facilities. Nurses and CNAs are so overwhelmed with work so the families are the best advocates for the dementia patients. This is so incredibly sad and we literally have no control over it.

  3. " And no resident will say: “I am sick.” (Isaiah 33:24)

  4. " And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)

  5. So tragic. My heart is with you and your wife. Personal touch is so healing. Hope you both can get a vaccine safely ASAP.💞

  6. I was diagnosed of herpes 4 years ago but no doctor could cure me until i came across Dr OSABA who gave me his medicine that revived my life and today i'm tested negative to herpes I don't need to talk too much about Dr osaba but you too can contact him for any kind of cure on his email him

  7. My moms dementia was minimal at the beginning of the pandemic then escalated during the pandemic and died in august from Covid. Thanks to the elderly Covid murderer, Trump and his trumpublicans.

  8. My 87 f dementia client has been hospitalized, she is accustomed to 24 hour care in her family home….now she is allowed only 1 visitor the duration of her hospital stay. The hospital has basically assumed the responsibility of a longterm care facility but can't possibly handle her needs. Her first night alone they wanted to restrain her to the bed because she wouldn't stop trying to get up….
