PSA for those w/loved 1 in #nursinghome w/COVID who may have COVID. A thread and pls RT:
1. If goals r comfort NH can admin oxygen, comfort meds, all the same things a Pall care unit/team would do in the hospital.
2.Staff at NH knows your loved one/r like fam. They r like fam 1/

3. If ur loved 1 has dementia or other advanced med conditions, outcome will be same at NH or in hospital. If they make it they& #39;ll make it, if not it was their time.
4. Why move them to place where they don& #39;t know anyone/confused when they could stay and receive same care 2/

5. If they r in the NH receiving palliative/comfort measures, know that u physically being present to say goodbye is more for u at this point.
6. A video/phone to ear hearing ur voice can be just as soothing for them.
7. Do not feel guilty abt not physically being there. It is ok
