Staff and residents at a nursing home in Co Kildare have spoken of their hope of having in-person visits from family members and vaccinated visitors.
The HSE is considering easing restrictions on visitors to nursing homes as infection rates drop in care homes.
Visits to nursing homes have been restricted to compassionate grounds since Christmas.
Every resident and staff member at Craddock House Nursing Home in Naas have received both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine and hope to see family members soon.
Brid Gallagher, assistant director of nursing and owner of the home, said: “To have a resumption of visiting will give residents a huge boost and will hopefully be something to look forward to on a weekly basis.”
