SAN DIEGO (KGTV) â Residents at senior living facilities are finally reuniting with family after a full year in lockdown. Seniors were among the first to get vaccinated because of their increased risk of COVID-19.
Belmont Village Senior Living is welcoming back visitors who are fully vaccinated. About 98% of their 130 residents are vaccinated and are now one step closer to normal.
âThe dining room is just buzzing with activity,â said Inan Linton, executive director at Belmont Village. âNo one has to sit alone anymore. We are just feeling like we have the gift of freedom again.â
