Whereas another care home, set up a glass visiting area, so that clients could meet their families - two at a time. There was glass between the client and their relatives. It was very sad to see - all it needed was for the client to be in a black and white striped suit and a handset for the client to communicate with their visitors. An awful way to treat the elderly - absolutely no thought at all.

I agree, it's been much the same here. Very distressing for many families.

The awful way to treat the elderly is banning visits completely, the homes that have set up a means for maintaining isolation and still have visits are the ones that have been looking after the clients and families mental health, not ideal but better than the total bans.

Couldn't families have removed their elderly relative out of a home if they had wanted to? After all, they are paying for the service.

I think some have tried but failed but have failed for various reasons such as LPoAs
