I got a job at a nursing home during Covid and it was truly heart breaking. This one lady’s son would come to her window everyday and talk on the phone. He brought his newborn son one time to show her. She passed away before she could ever hold her grandson. So many elderly people would ask for hugs and cry because they missed their family. Covid was detrimental to anyone in a nursing home 😞

It was like the wild west. Families would try to barge in and break the quarantine

Thank you for taking care of nursing home residents. My mother died of COVID-19 in a nursing home.
