HOUSTON COUNTY, Ga. As hospitals across Central Georgia begin to receive COVID-19 vaccines, nursing homes and assisted living facilities are still waiting.
Two Central Georgians who have a loved one in a nursing home say they re hoping the vaccine is a step towards getting families back together inside the doors.
Both Nannette Coleman and Kimberly Sexton say this pandemic has been extremely difficult for their families.
Coleman has an 83-year-old grandmother who lives at Summer Hill Senior Community in Perry. She says her family misses the regular visitation, but the home has allowed some window and plastic tent visits.
