Family calls for people to have unlimited access to care homes when their loved ones are in their final days
Joyce Lewis, 94, has lived at a care home in Barry for just over two years
Currently, decisions on it lie with individual homes, but Mr Lewis wants the new Welsh government to introduce rules to guarantee access. "Both my sisters and myself were given 15 minutes. We had to put full PPE on but obviously the distressing thing is we're effectively told we may not be able to go in again."From now on there's a compassionate visit for one sibling, a designated person, so effectively out of the three only one person can visit on a weekly basis.Mrs Lewis had a stroke five years ago and has been a resident at the Vale of Glamorgan home for just over two years.
