Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Did not seeing family during the lockdown affect your loved ones health or mental health? Or do you feel some people didn’t realize the passage of time ?
Are you sure it is not guilt making you feel this way? There are rules in place that make it impossible to visit. That is something you can do nothing about.
My mom passed three years ago. I am relieved she is gone because I am not certain how she would have been with the restrictions. But, thinking about it, at the end of her life, she would not have even realised there was anything different.
Neither of my parents are in a facility and they are both suffering the effects of social isolation, so please do not feel that it is only those in care facilities that are feeling mental and physical health impacts.
Mum gets out, she truly is independent, but her hearing is going and she cannot lip read when people wear masks. She is an active, gregarious woman and is having trouble feeling like there is any point in going on.
Dad finally 2 weeks ago saw friends at a distance. It was challenging as most of them are 85+ and all are somewhat hard of hearing. Sitting 6+ feet away from each other, they were yelling to try to be heard.
Yes, just like "Difficult" said "everyone's mental health has been challenged during Covid 19."
Just in the last few days my mom's hospice nurse and the facility's new memory care director recommended I let them put her on an antidepressant and the reasons why. I thought about it and told them ok, let's give it a try but, it will be a very low dose.
Even if they don't realize the passage of time, most of them would still know they aren't getting visitors from family and/or friends, they aren't allowed to go anywhere and if there is a lockdown from within i.e. a COVID case where the dining room and activities have to be suspended then they don't even have that.
We as people are meant for connection with one another regardless of whether we are young or old, in good health or poor. Also, we need just normal, daily activities that challenge us as well as having something to look forward to.
I feel bad for all of them especially the ones who may not have much time left - it just all seems so cruel.
There is no question it effects the mental health. The mental health often effects the physical health. There is much depression and worry afoot in the lands. It is clear this has to have an effect on people. Some with dementia enter their own small world where they withdraw. Anyone else I think is bound to be effected.
I think everyone's mental health has been challenged during Covid 19. My 97 year old mother is in a Memory Care and in that enviornment she cried for 3 weeks because she missed not recieving visits from me anymore. Finally the MC adopted window visits, not sure if things got worse or better. The challenge is she is deaf and does not understand why I can't visit and why she can't come out of there even for a short time. Even without the deafness, it was a challenge to explain it to her everytime I visited. She would forget. Still is challenging, but a little less so with the passage of time.
I feel this segment of the population have suffered the most. This week my mother had a UTI and a fall. I knew something was off when I visited, but it was the first time she said to me, I don't have much time left, please take me with you, I don't want to spend that time here. She is doing fine today, but I was very tempted to do as she wished, dementia or no. It is what it is.
Yes this population had it the worst And individuals with developmental disabilities
I felt the social worker could have advocated more for the residents with dementia . They become stressed by not seeing familiar faces regularly. I used to feel so bad when I left the facility and he would follow us with his eyes and wave. At that point I ask why?
