THE OWNER OF A nursing home in Meath, where seven people with Covid-19 have died, has said it has been “heartbreaking” telling families they can not be with their loved ones in their final moments.
“When our residents are at end of life stage, most of them have decided – because we have an advanced care plan in place – that they did not want to be transferred so the decision had been by the resident to stay with us in the nursing home,” she said.Lucy Flynn is the owner of Millbury Nursing Home in Navan, she spoke to #CBLive about the cluster of #Covid19 in the home and the heart break of losing 7 residents to the virus. pic.twitter.
“They know us very well, they know the layout of the nursing home, they know the staff – they have their favourites – and that was reassuring for the families that at least some familiar faces were there to be with the resident with their loved one at the end.” Speaking yesterday evening, Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan said it would not have made sense to have a strategy to prevent outbreaks of Covid-19 in nursing homes entirely.
Please Lucy don't enable the Government by giving them a get out of jail card with the DNR Clause.Could any of your residents access hospital care if they wanted it?We all know the answer is no, HSE policy was nurse in situ.Please don't fear HIQA repercussions for speaking out
Just show them Leo’s speech. Speeches fix everything, right? Right?!
