“The letter that I got the other day from the director said that I would be hearing from them soon to find out if Amber’s a candidate for the vaccine,” she said.
Like many family members of residents of long-term facilities, Biggs has been concerned about the overall impact COVID-19 has had on her daughter.
“If Amber got COVID she would be moved out of her familiar settings and put in a different unit with different staff and those kinds of things,” said Biggs. “For me, not being able to come in there and come alongside the team and care for her. That is a big concern.”
