Terri Taylor is spending her holiday season quarantined in a hotel room an hour away from her family in Fredericton.
The licensed practical nurse spent the past few weeks volunteering to help care for COVID-positive residents at Shannex Parkland Saint John.
Taylor, who works at Shannex’s Thomas Hall nursing home in Fredericton, said it was her chance to “pay it forward” after the company helped her family earlier this year.
