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:
Contact Hospice. Often they can help arrange a visit that normally would be almost impossible. In this case it might be possible for them to transfer her to their In Patient Unit and then you might be able to visit. The Hospice where I volunteer is allowing 1 visitor per patient room, one visitor at a time. Visitors as well as staff are pre-screened before they are allowed to visit or enter the work space.
You’ll only get that answer from the NH. Try getting someone on the phone or see if the NH has a website with information. From watching the news, most are allowing absolutely no visitors regardless of happenings. I can’t imagine but hope you get the chance to see your love one even if by video.
We are in self quarantine, absolutely zero risk taking because of our ages and a potential physical situation not yet diagnosed, and our LO has been in an AL totally locked down since early March.
The AL has video connections for patients and does allow relatives hospice patients to visit on a case by case basis.
If our LO were to go to hospice care, I would not attempt to see her because I could bring her something worse than COVID, and I could get COVID from her.
Everyone needs to make that decision on an individual basis.
Covid is running rampant in 50 some nursing homes in my state. Last i heard they were allowing visits at end of life. But, it depends there are stories on the news that some nursing homes throughout the country are not allowing even those sorts of visits.
Are you fearful of visiting for fear of catching it yourself? Will you feel guilty later, if you don't? You could take the recommended precautions and be reasonably safe. Check the policy with the facility and hospice then make your decision. At the very least i would think they would set you up with a call, facetime, skype any number of free options out there to visit without physical contact.
Do what you can, for you, or it may come back to haunt you.
I believe that nursing homes are permitted to allow close family to visit people who are "actively dying." This still leaves the unpalatable question: how many last days is your sister expected to have?
What does she need from the nursing home that can't be provided by hospice in her home? She's still at her own home at the moment, is she?
Some NH are allowing folks to see their loved ones if terminally ill. I would call the facility that she is in and ask what the policy is now with the Covid 19 pandemic & hospice patients. I hope you get the chance to see her.
