LOUISVILLE, Colo. (AP) Lynda Hartman needed a hug.
It had been at least eight months since she touched her 77-year-old husband, Len, who has dementia and has been at an assisted living center in suburban Denver for the last year.
On Wednesday, she got a small taste of what life was like before the coronavirus pandemic.
Sort of.
Thanks to a “hug tent” set up outside Juniper Village at Louisville, Hartman got to squeeze her husband albeit while wearing plastic sleeves and separated by a 4-millimeter-thick clear plastic barrier.
“I really needed it. I really needed it,” the 75-year-old said after her brief visit. “It meant a lot to me, and it’s been a long, long time.”
