12 Texas Nursing Homes Approved to Restart Family Visits
Description (Dublin Core)
This is a Twitter post linking to an article about some Texas nursing homes opening to family visits. Isolation from family and friends has been a serious issue for seniors living in long term care facilities. There is a balance that must be struck between the prevention of both the spread of COVID-19 to vulnerable populations and reduction of isolation that can lead to severe mental and physical decline in older adults. With my grandfather in a similar situation and his health declining rapidly, this article really hit home how protection from COVID-19 may likely result in increased deaths of seniors suffering from isolation.
