A day in Elmview

I sat in the common room with Fred today, listening to the door alarm go off constantly (realized only later that it was because a patient stood by it wanting to leave). The physio-therapist arrived and did an assessment about Fred. Says he currently needs two people on hand if he is going to walk anywhere. Found out later that the reason almost no one was in the common room was that there is a covid outbreak in the building. I wasn't informed. Margaret wants to take him home but is resigned to making his stay another day. She has now got him booked into a nursing home but that won't start for another eight days. He seems to think that this is just a variant on the exercise program he goes to and that Margaret is going to take him home. He is very upset when told this isn't so.
