Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree--but if you are so concerned about her getting the mail (and that is the only place she 'gets to' go---you can either: Take it upon yourself to disinfect the mailbox everyday after the mail had been delivered and then allow mom out to do her job, or not allow her to go out at all.
The chances of contracting COVID19 from a mailbox are slim to none, but you're concerned and need to be heard.
You must be going out for groceries and staples, right? That's a bigger risk than getting the mail.
We are isolating in place and DH has been working from home. Nevertheless, I have gone out several times to get staples. Just using the in-place precautions.
you are concerned about getting COVID-19 from her feces on the floor.....even though it’s transmitted through other ways......
yet you are still letting her retrieve the mail from the community mail box?
If she catches COVID because an infected person left droplets on the mail box or shares an elevator with her, you are going to catch it whether you touch her poop or not. Methinks it’s time to calm down and stop letting her get the mail if you are so concerned.
She obviously needs more supervision in the bathroom and to make sure she washes her hands - both after using the toilet and when she comes in from getting the mail. Having her change into slippers or house shoes when she comes back from getting the mail is also a good idea.
Also - aside from the point your mother would have to have the virus in the first place - while tests have found the virus in feces and blood it is currently “unclear” whether it can be transmitted via those routes.
So, in the fact it is “unclear” doesn’t provide a nice firm “don’t worry about it” by any means - but it does say - at least to me - worry more about the known and much more viable transmission vehicles- coughing and sneezing. Practice all the hand washing protocols and social distancing, stay “sheltered in place” and use antibacterial wipes and gloves to clean up any poop.
Get a grip - the virus doesn't spontaneously materialize in your house, your mother could bathe in her feces and it isn't going to give you covid 19, (I really do sympathize with the ick factor though)

If we all follow the health guidelines, we'll be ok.
Nevertheless, yes, yuck.
