Coronavirus: Charity seeks judicial review on care home visit guidance
The charity said:"Her daughter's visits [were] previously her only comfort. It's now six months since Angela has been allowed to visit Joan despite advising that she would take all infection-control precautions and only enter her room via the fire exit stairs.
When Rosie was finally allowed to visit her mother in her care home in June, after months of lockdown, she was shocked to see her dementia had worsened. Being able to hold her mother's hand in her final days"felt really important" and Rosie was"really grateful I could be there". While Rosie was grateful to the carers who allowed her longer visits in the last days before her mother's death, Rosie said she felt like the months of lockdown where no visits were allowed had led to her mother's decline.
