States across the country are beginning to roll back heart-wrenching policies instituted when the COVID-19 pandemic began and will allow in-person visits at nursing homes and assisted living centers, offering relief to frustrated families.
For the most part, visitors are required to stay outside and meet relatives in gardens or on patios where they stay at least six feet apart, supervised by a staff member. Appointments are scheduled in advance and masks are mandated, and only one or two visitors are permitted at a time.
