That breaks my heart....so many of them, like this.
What meals are being delivered, since their dining room is closed?
I’m so sorry and hope this complete lockdown ends soon. I’m glad they at least have each other.
Are they saying, at these facilities that are locked down, any sort of timeframe, for when visitations can resume?
The kitchen is running and they are delivering hot meals. The “dining room” at their place is much like a full service restaurant, where a waiter takes your order and brings you your food and beverages. Now the menu is limited to just 2 or 3 choices that are not cooked to order, and is delivered to your apartment. My siblings and I have tried to improve on that by bringing them their favorite foods. The biggest loss is the social contact during meals and other activities. As of now it’s “until further notice”. Walking through the empty halls, seeing closed doors and no activity at all was pretty sad. I know many elderly, even those living at home are feeling a lot of loneliness.
