(132,558 posts)a nursing home with vigilant policies during a coronavirus than not. As hard as it is, tell your mother-in-law the nursing home is doing it so she will be safe. That you love her. That you will talk to her on the phone for hours a day. My dad has been in lockdown meals in his room since they had 3 staff members test positive. Thankfully he tested negative. He is also somewhat oblivious. They tested the whole building. Think of all residents going down the elevator with staff to go to a window to wave to family. If your building has 180 people that is 400 people in the elevators in a few days. They think elevators are one of the main reasons NYCity got coronavirus so big. COVID-19 tiniest droplets stay suspended in the elevator air for more than a few minutes. And anybody who gets on is in that cloud of coronavirus. Cry with your mother-in-law and let out your fear and frustration. But she is luckier than most. She has you.
