A Central Coast family celebrated their mother's 80th birthday in person inside a nursing home facility on Monday.
Inside San Luis Post Acute Center in San Luis Obispo, Holly Lewis is singing a different tune. Her mother, Catherine Phillips, turned 80 surrounded by her family.
"Mom we love you we finally got to come inside. We're here," said Lewis.
The 80-year-old has dementia. Philips has been a resident at the San Luis Obispo facility for three years.
Back in June of 2020, KSBY first brought you the story of Lewis, who was using her musical talents to ask California Governor Gavin Newsom to allow visitors at nursing homes. Since September, Holly has been able to visit her mom in person off and on because of ever changing guidelines.
