Hi folks, I am writing in hopes that someone here is (unfortunately) dealing with a similar situation, or has knowledge that can change the course of events here. A friend’s 94 year old mom is in a nursing home in Shelton, CT, and she is dying. She is down to 71 pounds and isn't eating. Due to the Covid-19 situation, my friend is getting a runaround regarding being able to see her mom, either in the same room or through the window, as they have been allowing some people to do. Her mom has dementia and is having anxiety about not being able to see her daughter, too. These last several days have been filled with many many phone calls, emails and texts, where widely varying information is being given to my friend as to her mom's health status. Sometimes the staff is saying that her mom is doing much better, and she is not “actively dying” (their term, not mine), and then 12 hours later, they flip the story. Hospice is also involved and they are also not providing full information. My friend just wants their permission to go visit her mom asap; it could be her last time. If anyone has suggestions towards this situation, please write me either on- or off-list. (I admit, if it were me, I would be driving the 2 1/2 hours to confront the staff directly, but my friend has a different way of doing things, and I told her I would reach out to others for knowledge and suggestions.) There is no money for a lawyer if that is a suggestion. :-( Thanks very much, Deb -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
