We have had a friend for the last 10 years who has been at a Continuing Care Retirement Community for a couple decades. Her increasing memory issues have escalated since the lockdown, and she wandered outside her home yesterday. She was inside the compound, but is now secure in the memory unit, where her husband and extended family have no access to her due to COVID-19. And it seems that won't likely change in the coming months/year, right?
Has anyone else had any experiences like this where you can give some tips or ideas on how to console her family or be able to see her ever again? She came to our yard a couple weeks ago for DD's 14th bday and had a great time. We facetimed her last week. Now, there's apparently no way for her husband and son to ever see her again. Is this truly how it works? Any ideas on what we can do?
