From the ‘Alzheimer’s Society’
‘After the year we’ve had, a 30-minute visit with Mum meant the world’
Jamie Greaves and his mum, Patricia, have been kept apart by coronavirus restrictions for much of the last year. As is the case for so many people living in care homes, as well as their carers, friends and relatives, this has been incredibly tough for them both.
As face-to-face visits recently returned, Jamie reflects on a ‘horrendous year’ and how he’s now cherishing every moment.
