Long-term prospects Some people moving from institutional facilities to home care 23:06 on May 4
As the spread of infection continues and the declaration of emergencies is extended, some people have decided to take home the parents in an institution-type nursing home to their homes and move to home care in anticipation of the prolongation of the situation.
A woman in her 40s in Aichi had a 77-year-old mother in a nursing home in the city, but her visit was banned in late February to prevent infection.
The mother was certified the heaviest "needs to care 5" because she suffered from a brain convulsion eight years ago and had left unconsciousness in the left half of her body.
Women visit every day and patiently massage their paralyzed shoulders and arms, but they can no longer do that, and they feel that their muscles and joints are stiffer than before. . It is said that he was worried that if the situation continued for a long time, the symptoms would all deteriorate at once without being able to meet, and it would become irreversible.
For this reason, the doctor in charge told me that it was difficult to provide home-based care, but on the 30th of last month, I left the facility and took my mother home in my own car.
The woman said, “My mother was trapped inside the building because I couldn't visit her even outdoors. There was no way the facility could reduce the risk of infection, but the days when I couldn't meet my mother were really tough. It was a thing. "
In addition, "I found that my wrists, fingers, elbows, etc. were solidified compared to before even by touching my mother's body a little. There is no prospect that the situation will converge, and my mother's body will not stress my stress as it is. I decided to leave because I thought I would reach my limit. "
A woman intends to take a month's care leave and prepare for home care during this time, but home care for a mother requiring long-term care 5 is a continuous struggle. The mother can barely speak and puts a great physical burden on the caregiver when moving from bed to a wheelchair.
I hope to use day services as much as possible and return to work in June, but if infections will spread further and the care services I use will be reduced in the future, that will not be possible, There is also a risk that life will be lost.
The woman said, “I was determined to leave, but if I use day service, etc., it will increase contact with people, and I am at risk of being infected and transferred to my mother. In that case, I'm completely worried about how much I can do by myself, but I couldn't stand for my mother's further hardening. "
