‘There’s going to be hugging:’ Lehigh Valley nursing homes readying for visitors
Updated Mar 16, 2021;
Warmer temperatures and COVID-19 vaccines mean Lehigh Valley nursing homes and long-term care facilities are readying to welcome visitors, slowly.
Last week, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) said facilities should allow indoor visits at long-term care facilities “regardless of vaccination status of the resident, or the visitor.”
This is after COVID-19′s deadly effects on long-term care facilities during the pandemic.
