Hi, I’m in a state with no official lock downs, but quite a few COVID-19 cases. My 91 year old dad lives alone-but I’m not sure it is safe for him to go weeks without someone checking in. My plan now is for me to practice social distancing and good hygiene but still visit him weekly. I plan on only allowing me to visit. It feels like it’s a risk either way...anyone else in similar situations?
Although I am against someone 91 and older living alone. Had a neighbor whose wife passed away.. I would take over a cup of coffee and a bagel with cream cheese, knock on the door in the morning just to make sure I got a knock back... Yup,,it was concerning for me. Just wanted to make sure he had something to eat in the AM and he was okay... I always got a knock back until his sister finally came down and got him... FINALLY....
I know he is lonely and would really like company. My husband and I are both very careful when shopping, practice social distancing and are working at home. The one minor in our house has not been anywhere since school let out 3/13/2020.
I would greatly appreciate input on this. I don't want to bring danger to my dad's safety but I also want to be company for him and I really do miss him. If i do visit i would want to stay one night due to the distance/travel.
