Our elderly have been forgotten they are at the bottom of the pile.

Managing a care home is harrowing ,lonely and vile.

I have been pulled apart by this storm hitting our system of care,

Seeing residents dying in a shell of loneliness is difficult to bare.

Families not able to show their love as they lie on their death bed,

Can't get the distress that they face out of my head!

Treated by dedicated workers covered by a mask,

How long is this terrifying battle going to persist I ask?
