I just went to see my mother. I was there for 5 minutes when staff came in to tell me to leave. The entire Sunrise facility is under state quarantine for at least 48 hours due to a stomach flu. Good Lord.
That sounds like 'risk management' in action...fear of lawsuits from stomach flu leading to complications or 'hiding' some serious something or other. "Risk management" and all the ridiculous fear based thinking has them now calling family members all night long every time a patient has a bad spell or even a tiny fall. For what nursing home costs and what studies have proved that family ties and visits help in well-being..pretty sad!!! I suppose they'll do lock downs on day care next!
