My mom was living in a dementia ward when the pandemic broke out. There was a lack of knowledge among the staff at the locked-down facility. There were no directives for staff to wear masks or maintain necessary distance. Staff moved freely among people during their free time.

As a result, all 10 residents were infected, and my mom was one of those who died from the complications. I will never forget it! Nor will I forget the funeral, which had a strict limit on attendees due to the risk of infection. We had to exclude family and friends because of this. It was a terrible time.
