I feel your pain. 93 year old MIL said she won't be able to take another lock down at her facility. Anon, I got the title of Essential Care Giver for her before they allowed family to visit her in her apartment because there are things she can't do well on her own like coming up to the lobby for 2 grocery carts of food. I also now need to take her blood pressure and weight a couple times a week. Just having me in her apartment she says to practice talking 4 times a week has turned her around significantly. God Bless your grandfather!
