Do you know an elderly person living in a retirement home ?

How is life for them right now ?
I just chatted with my mother who lives in such a place. She and pretty much most residents there are getting depressed. I haven't been allowed to visit her in months and for good reason.
However, all things considered, it looks like they will not be allowed vistors for their own safety until some time next year.

They can't leave their rooms unless they are wearing a mask. They now eat in their room and not in the dining hall.

Life for them is sucking, but it's for their own good.
It's quite a terrible conundrum.
