Tomorrow it will be 300 days since I had a meaningful visit with my mother, or held her hand. These photographs were taken exactly one year apart, on her birthday on New Year's Eve. She has lost over 2 stone and pretty much all all of her sparkle....

The visits in the glass pod in the care home car park have been horrible for us both. Speech therapy has stopped so she has no speech now. She can barely hear. She used to read avidly and loved TV. She does neither now. Covid has swept through...

3/ her care home so all residents have been confined to their rooms for weeks. All visits were cancelled since early December and there is no news on when or if they will recommence. iPad calls are hopeless. The vaccines are being given so I've begged for "care partner" status...
4/I've had no reply from the care home. My beautiful mum has given up now and frankly why wouldn't she? Anyone would lose hope after 300 days.
I need to know why, when she's had Covid already & her first vaccine, I'll only be allowed to be with her if she's "end of life". Nice.

5/Wouldn't she get better rights on death row?? Apologies for the rant but I am so angry and upset at the inhumane approach being taken "for their own protection". @MattHancock @rightsforresid2 @LaylaMoran Please give us some answers.
UPDATE
300 days today since I hugged my mother but good news: she's just had her vaccine!
@MattHancock @laylamoran please urgently address care home guidelines so that family members can now visit as 'care partners" & end the lonely isolation.#carehomes #rightsforresidents
