私の母が入居している七里ヶ浜の介護施設ではコロナ禍の影響で昨年から訪問面会が中止されオンラインでの面会だけしかできなかったが、今月から現地での面会が再開された。
At the nursing home in Shichirigahama where my mother resides, visitation has been suspended since last year due to the Covid-19 disaster and only online visitation has been available, but face-to-face visitation resumed this month.
早速面会の手続きして行ってきました。
I immediately arranged a visitation and went with my wife.
入居者が普段生活しているスペースには入れず、面会専用の部屋で15分という決まり。
The rule is that residents are not allowed to enter the space where they normally live, but in a room dedicated to visiting for 15 minutes.
8か月ぶりの面会だが特に変わりなく元気そうだった。
I visited my mother for the first time in eight months, and she seemed to be in good health with no particular change.
こんな感じで15分間です。ここ七里ヶ浜ホームは海の近くの高台にあるので眺めも良いし、職員の人達の雰囲気も明るくて居心地は良さそう。自分も将来ここなら良いかなと思う。
It is like this for 15 minutes. This Shichirigahama Home is located on a hill near the sea, so it has a nice view, and the atmosphere of the staff people seems to be cheerful and comfortable. I think it would be good for me to move in here in the future.
今回の面会はこれで終わり。
This is the end of this visit.
その間こなつは車の中で待っていました。こなつも一緒に入れたら良かったけど、残念ながらワンコは中に入れてもらえないから母には写真で我慢してもらうことになる。
Meanwhile Konatsu was waiting in the car. It would have been nice if Konatsu could have joined us, but unfortunately they wouldn’t let the doggie inside, so my mother had to put up with the pictures.
