The assisted living has a Covid outbreak. We received a message stating there are no cooks on staff tomorrow and families need to bring in meals and help with family.
My husband believes I should make large portions for people without families nearby.
What happens to the people with no families if I decide not to cook for them?
No, do not take food to others. Provide for your Mom. DH is a good guy but good deeds don't go unpunished. They will not starve, the AL has to provide meals.
Geez you are paying these people to care for MIL and you are doing most of the care for free.
I hope to God you are making progress getting her the **** out of that place. And once you do i would report them to licensing or some kind of regulatory agency.
This facility your MIL is in really does sound like a total nightmare in every way. Why do they have NO plans in place to deal with a virus that's been with us for over 2.5 YEARS now?
I suggest you call over there right away and recommend they order take out food from local restaurants to feed their residents 3 meals a day. To have the families cooking food in their kitchens is unacceptable. They have no idea how clean your kitchens are, or what kind of quality control you have over the food in your fridges and pantries. This is not to suggest you are dirty or any such thing......just to say it's inappropriate and against health code standards for them to be asking families to COOK for residents!
But, the hospital certainly didn’t require that, nor would they allow families to cook for strangers.
What they should be doing is contracting with such a provider. Even San Quentin State Prison did that in 2020.
