After more than a year of virtual visits and waving through windows, loved ones of those in local nursing homes have found their way back into residents’ arms.
In recent weeks, nursing homes throughout Beaver County started welcoming back visitors and allowing close contact with fully vaccinated residents, in response to changes in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) nursing home recommendations.
The new guidance advises, “responsible indoor visitation at all times and for all residents, regardless of vaccination status of the resident or visitor,” unless county positivity rates of COVID-19 move above 10%, less than 70% of residents in the facility are fully vaccinated, residents with visitors test positive for COVID-19 or residents with visitors are quarantining.

In a year made so tough for so many reasons, people in Western Pennsylvania needed to trust their medical care more than ever before. Central Outreach Wellness Center is proud to say that they were not only able to continue providing culturally competent and inclusive care, but were able to grow, expand, and adapt to the needs of the year. Central Outreach’s main mission is still being a resource for care for underserved populations, particularly the LGBTQIA and HIV+ communities, and that continued in 2020. They saw and provided care for 1,459 trans and nonbinary patients, and 816 HIV+ patients, offering them all the competent care they deserve. And this extends past simply the people that Central Outreach sees in its different clinics. In 2020, they also launched their Street Outreach Program, offering care to those that don’t feel comfortable receiving it in a hospital or formal medical setting.

Under Georgia law, a person must be “Registered as an elector in the manner prescribed by law,” and “A resident of this state and of the county or municipality in which he or she seeks to vote.”
Registering a number of voters at one address is – by its nature – opening the vote up to people who may not be legal residents of the state, or the county or municipality where they are registered.
Caught on camera, Kimberly Parker of the Central Outreach and Advocacy Center in Atlanta says:
“The majority of the people we serve don’t have an address, so we allow them to use our address if they register to vote, and to get Georgia State ID.”
One of the recent unproven claims of voter fraud in Georgia elections targeted Atlanta’s homeless.
But rather than expose illegal activity, the stunt from Project Veritas instead revealed a voting system that pays little attention to people without housing.
The videos the right-wing media outlet released on Twitter earlier this week are typical of its work. They show a couple of covert interviews with homeless service provider employees outside their homes. One appears to be in a restaurant. The footage is shaky with choppy edits.
In the videos, Project Veritas makes the claim that these nonprofits are wrongly using their address to register quote “countless” people to vote.
