Guidelines Change Today On Nursing Home Visits

New guidelines for visiting nursing homes residents comes into operation today.

Residents can have two visits per week on general compassionate grounds, once there's a high level of vaccination in the facility.
There is no requirement to limit each visit to less than one hour.

Sage Advocacy says the new measures are a very welcome first step and it's urging nursing homes to respect and comply with the guidelines.
