And it doesn't help that immigration has been curtailed.

I really feel that Mom was blessed in her home, no Covid breakout at all, therefore no deaths because of it. Staff were probably run off their feet but they never appeared to be stressed. <br />I'm not a believer that all deaths reported as Covid deaths are accurate, meaning that I don't think it is the only cause. I pray that a change is coming for the better and that you aren't 'abandoned' like that too often if ever again. I'm able to say that my family is at peace that Mom isn't a concern in this crazy world anymore. :(Patsy Irene (Chillin' with Patsy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17023685247825134744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-80545262562936884292020-11-26T08:17:36.735-05:002020-11-26T08:17:36.735-05:00Seniors in care or needing workers have been devas...Seniors in care or needing workers have been devastated by Covid in this country.

One of our neighbors has a caregiver, today she came four times; although the caregiver works for an agency, she's also a distant relative so I assume that our neighbor gets extra special care.

I am lucky that my Dad is in a Veterans Centre and getting royal treatment but I fear the day when I may need assistance. I hope your caregivers manage to get to you the rest of this week. I would think you should be a priority.RedPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06980471119229896414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-11752439542991454552020-11-25T12:54:14.523-05:002020-11-25T12:54:14.523-05:00I'm so sorry to hear of this.
