[quote=Anonymous]OP here- thank you for the replies and insights. I apologize if I wasn't clear- my FIL was advised to stay away for just the first week. I was curious if this "initial week at facility with no visitors" was a common policy. This facility is like a cruise ship on land. Activities from sunup to sundown. It is ostensibly for religious seniors, so church services, hymn sings, etc are part of the daily and weekly schedule. This is the complete opposite of the care home my great grandmother was in back in the 80s. I am fairly certain that once my MIL settles in, she will be very happy. Navigating this first step into care is so fraught and new to everyone. And when presented with a kind of extreme-sounding protocol, I thought I would get feedback from others who have trod this path. [/quote]
