Legislation would require nursing homes offer virtual visitation Darren Iozia, darren.iozia@myjournalcourier.com FacebookTwitterEmail Getty ImagesYinYang | Getty Images A Senate bill making its way through the state legislature would require all nursing homes in the state to offer virtual visits for residents.  Senate Bill 2137 is a response to the increased social isolation stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.  “Our state’s most vulnerable residents in nursing homes have suffered the worst during this pandemic, with over 77,000 COVID-19 positive cases and more than 10,300 deaths,” said Lori Hendren, AARP Illinois’ associate director. “There should not be any hesitation from elected officials to act now to offer a simple, humane source of comfort for these residents access to the voices and faces of the people they love at a time when they feel most alone.”
