Dear Editor,

[Re: Langley Lodge, husband of resident, at odds over standard of care, June 22, Langley Advance Times]

My wife is a patient in an Langley long-term care facility.

We have not had any personal contact since March 2020, like so many other patients.

She is being cooped up, like in an asylum, with no end in site.

There must be a way for her to go out for a short time or have visitors more frequently.

This situation is very damaging to her mental health, and mine as well.

I wonder how much political influence is involved in this shutdown.
