1/ How will our patients with #cognitiveimpairment keep #masks on and/or abide by #socialdistancing rules as stay at home orders are relaxed in the coming year.

#COVID has had me concerned for #socialisolation of my #geriatric patients, but I hadn't had time to think about
2/ the #consequences of the #pandemic on them in regards to the further #isolation that will occur

Today I had a visit w/ an incredible #dementia caregiver, truly a #superwoman. She was tearful sharing her concern about
3/how #socialisolation will continue for her and her husband much longer given he is unable to tolerate a mask on and/or abide by #socialdistancing rules.

I felt ashamed that I hadn't thought about this until now. I didn't have a solution for her and felt horrible.
4/ Wanted to see what thoughts/advice people have regarding this issue? How is this being managed in LTC facilities, could it be translated to other settings?
