“Every day I have to explain to my mom why she can’t leave her room, why nobody is visiting her.” Nursing homes in Covid-19 hot spots are once again tightening restrictions, trying to balance the risk of infection with the health risk of isolation.
Mary Ellen Dayan-Varnum had been taking her 85-year-old mother, Jody Dayan, to a salon to get her hair done twice a week, but new restrictions at Ms. Dayan’s nursing home in Blountstown, Fla., have ended those outings.
Most visitation is canceled, and group activities like bingo, movies and communal dining have been suspended, leaving residents largely confined to their rooms. Ms. Dayan-Varnum can still visit her mother, who has dementia, under what is known as an essential-caregiver exemption. But she worries about the high case counts and low vaccination rates in the area.
“Every day I have to explain to my mom why she can’t leave her room, why nobody is visiting her, why she can’t visit her friend across the hall,” she said. “There is no light at the end of the tunnel right now.”
