TAUNTON The COVID-19 pandemic has been hard on everyone, but there are few that it has been harder on than those living and working in long-term care facilities like nursing homes and assisted living homes.
It became evident quickly after the pandemic began that long-term care facilities would be some of the hardest hit. Across the state and country, the virus has run rampant through these facilities, leaving death in its wake.
Finally, these homes have some hope that they will not get hit again. Long-term care facilities in the Taunton area were able to begin vaccinations of staff and residents in January, and most will finish by the end of next month.
