@merpreb, right now they aren't doing window visits at all. Hamilton County is a hot spot. Way too many positive Covid19 cases. When the numbers come down, they will do the window visits again. Window visits are simply that. No physical contact at all. But on the positive side, you get to see your loved one.

The social worker called me and I gave her an earful. I was nice, but I let her know my thoughts on the entire subject. Hopefully she came away from the conversation knowing my daughter has a family that just wont quit.

At the end I expressed my desire to work together on this problem. I know they are following protocol, but I believe the protocol needs to be changed. So, onward to the State Department of Health I go. Visits through the window could be set up for certain times of the day. All health precautions should be utilized, if for instance, one has to enter the building to get to the courtyard. Patients who may not be alive in the weeks to come, they need to see their families one more time. I know it will kill my soul if my daughter dies in that facility without having seen her son. Or the rest of us.

Thanks for letting me vent. Hopefully my experience will strike a cord with someone else and allow them to say "Hey, I'm not alone. "

@mamacita I am so happy to see you here today! You have no idea how many times thoughts about you wandered my mind in these last several weeks. Yesterday on my drive home from appointments, I was honored to see a pair of bald eagles in flight. I know that was a sign. A turning point for your situation, I hope! Those window visits should be something they can arrange. Can a separate entrance be used to allow visitors in to the courtyard?

Absolutely right, better together, standing together, we make it through.

@mamacita- I know that this must be frustrating for you. I think that doing this by going to the State Dept. of Health is very smart. By the way, you aren't alone, all of us are with you!
