So an elderly uncle with dementia had a minor fall. Brought to hospital for precaution. No injuries & no covid symptoms but positive covid test. Isolation completed in respite & he remains fine but they& #39;re going through a list of excuses for refusing to allow him home to family.

So....update folks. Uncle still locked up, family not allowed to visit my uncle and the only contact we had was his mobile phone. He stopped answering - apparently the care unit accidentally put the phone in the washing machine so it is not working.

He has been living at home with his wife with no issues and they can& #39;t say what has changed that he suddenly can& #39;t continue to do so.
