My dad has been in a nursing home for five years because he had a stroke and can't look after himself. He and my mom are divorced and have been for over 20 years.

His nursing home will put him in isolation even when he's not sick. I told them they can't do that and they have no reason. They say because his roommate has COVID or someone he's close with has flu so he's isolated too. I said no he's not. They argue with me but I tell them resident's rights! RIGHT TO REFUSE IS RIGHT THERE! I refuse to let him be isolate!!!

I refuse to let him be isolated when he's not sick so I take him around the floor and take him to activities but they make me leave. I called the ministry in Ontario and they were no help.

The nursing home told me if I don't like it I can take him home essentially. He's been isolated unnecessarily three times since October and he got sick ONCE WHILE HE WAS ALREADY ISOLATED SO HE WAS ISOLATED EVEN LONGER!!!

I tore down his signs and threw out their stupid thing they put on the door with their Hazmat suits the last time I visited and the nursing home called Public Health on me and they came in and talked to me. I got a warning from the police.

Is this anyway to treat people?! He wasn't even sick. His roommate was! Why does he have to suffer?! They called the freaking police. This is the way nursing homes are but I can't take care of him myself. What am I supposed to do?!

I'm going to try and take him home but I have to move to a house that doesn't have stairs and can get all the stuff to help him. It's also so expensive to hire help but maybe there's disability or something for him.

Edit: But I'm not in the wrong for speaking up for him? He can't. He is suffering in his room alone. They have people come to visit but why isolate him if you're going to have people visit anyway? What's the point?! All I'm saying is they put these rules in place and expect us to blindly follow them. They don't realize we can think for ourselves. We aren't all indoctrinated. And they don't even explain the science or show any evidence that this works they just call the police when you don't follow their rules. Make it make sense!
