Normal disclaimer that they look after DGM very well, I definitely couldn't do it. Care home specialising in dementia, one big building with multiple smaller locked "sections" based on needs.
But why, especially just before Christmas if somebody in one section gets a D&V bug do they let the carers move between them? They lock down if 4+ have it apparently, but that just means they don't let visitors in.
Now it's in every section, two are locked down, my DGM's still isn't. She's had the bug for four days now.
DF is upset that she can't come and says he's going to eat Christmas dinner there, so he's probably going to catch it. She can't come here, she's not well and a bit haphazard with continence at the best of times which is manageable, but not infectious liquid diarrhoea when we have the house full, including two 90+ relatives.
He and DM are arguing about it (he feels guilty he didn't spot that she had Alzheimer's earlier so she had a couple of pretty miserable years struggling at home), I'm preparing beds for DSiblings to arrive because he's said Christmas is spoiled so isn't doing anything now (I came last week, so have been here for all this) and wanted to rant.
Surely their approach basically guarantees the spread. I understand it's very difficult to stop it when it's in a section, because the residents mostly aren't very good with hand hygiene/continence/using each others walking frames etc.
But they basically have multiple Typhoid Marys going around!
