EP 45 :: A Florida woman takes a dishwashing job so she can visit her husband with Alzheimer's during the pandemic :: Mary Daniel

Listen to this episode on Apple Podcasts.

Bobbi and Mike talk with Mary Daniel about becoming a dishwasher for a memory care facility, as it allows her to spend time with her husband even as family visits have been restricted. 

"It's incredibly sad to see that these patients are significantly declining because they are isolated," she said. "We are isolating these patients to save them, but the isolation is killing them."

“I'm thrilled that I'm there, but there are so many like my husband Steve, so I started a Facebook page called Caregivers for Compromise - because isolation Kills, too! And the response has been enormous. I have over 10,000 members right now. And we do believe there are ways that we can get to them. We seek a safe and reasonable reopening of Nursing Homes and Long Term Care facilities so that we can stop the unintended consequences of this prolonged physical separation and isolation on our loved ones’ overall health and well-being.”
