Not as of yet for the group homes, however the company I work for also has a mental health center with NPs and therapists that will be opening back up to the public for in person appointments on July 1st. For the last couple of months they have been doing Telehealth (appointments via Skype), so that is promising for my homes.

The guidelines I’ve seen are very restrictive, even down to designating that “the resident and employee wear a surgical mask but the visitor wears a cloth one, six feet apart, plexiglass in between in a isolation room and 1 employee monitoring”

We receive multiple phone calls a day from family members wanting to come in or they just show up. IMO, the state screwed up by announcing the opening up first before issuing the mandated guidelines, It has the facilities scrambling to get everything in place. Putting the cart before the horse,

I seen the staff blocking off the parking lot at the local Senior care facility in Clonton this morning.

At the assisted living community where my mother has an apartment, it has been residents and staff only since mid-March and remains so. To visit my mother, I make an appointment. At the appointed time, my mother is guided to a ground floor screened porch. I am allowed on the property only five minutes before my appointed time. Masked, I may leave my vehicle at the appointed time to walk directly to seats outside the screen porch. There, I may sit 6+ feet from the screened porch and visit with my mother. During this time frame of restricted entrance & egress (residents shelter in place), no resident has been infected with covid-19.

Yes, it is heartbreaking not to be able to visit my mother in her apartment, help with chores about the home,* and hug and love on my mom. She misses the human contact as well. Still, the lack of covid-19 infections and the community's emphasis on protecting the health and well-being of residents are a comfort to me. My mother chafes but understands.

*The staff misses the helpful hands of the residents' relatives, too.

Edit: The screened porch and outdoor seats are cleaned by staff between each visit.

They must be choosing the outside option, we may do that when corporate gives us the green light. Did I mention that the visitor has to have a negative covid test within 72 hours before visit, every time. At least we aren't a SNF, their employees have to be tested weekly.

I'm so sorry, I see it everyday. The residents miss their families so much.

Edit: Sorry, I don't know why my computer did that, other than I'm stuffing my face right now, might have something to do with it.

I deal with a lot of relatives that are in the same situation as you. They miss spending time with their loved ones but appreciate the safety measures taken by the facility. In my experience some are not as understanding as you and I get a lot of attitude at times, but its worth it. Hopefully things will improve quickly and hopefully they will have a vaccine that will put a lot of this uncertainty to bed.

Hopefully.
