“When I was a kid, we visited my grandmother every Sunday at ‘the home’ and I would go from room to room visiting anyone who looked friendly. I LOVED those old people and they loved me. For a child to be denied the joy of an elder, and an elder being denied the love of a child, it's just pure evil.”
It’s also just really awful from a straightforward quality of life perspective. One of the foundational designs of an “Eden home” was to have nursing homes filled with animals, artwork, music - *and* *children.*
But aside from one teenager seen briefly the other day (first time in almost three years now) I have not seen a single child (AKA dirty disease vectors) at my nursing home since the beginning of the COVID pandemic.
