This is one of the great inestimable costs, among many others that families and the elderly pay for isolation.

My mother died at 94 a couple of weeks ago with a year of barely seeing her and minimal communication. Though she was in a very good nursing home with excellent care, no family was allowed in her room until just before she passed.
