I don't disagree but i'm not the decision maker. My grandma herself is staunchly independent (has live alone since my Grandad passed away in 2002) and has previously claimed she would 'lie on the floor and refuse to move' if she was moved into care.
My mum and her brother are wary of care facilities based on the breakouts at the beginning of the year and no data on recent breakouts etc will change that.
The only way she'll be moved to care is if the vaccine rollout happens now / soon.

To unfairly play devils advocate, my grandmother is actually safer in the home (also mid stage dementia) - their protocols are amazing, and while she does say she feels 'locked in', she has far more social interactions (that are managed to the best possible safety levels) than if she were still in her own place. She improved massively once she moved into the home. We may just be very lucky with where she is though.
My other half's gran, who still lives at home, is ignoring all advice to be cautious - we know this because she left us a voicemail asking for a taxi...
