[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are not going to be able to keep this virus out of the nursing homes. Patients are transferred into nursing homes all the time form lower care settings.  Current residents go back/forth from the hospital and other medical facilities.

The best you can hope to do is isolate symptomatic residents away from the asymptomatic residents.

This is a common virus that is all over the world now and all over a country.  People in assisted living and even in nursing homes sometimes get taken out to lunch and to family celebrations.  They are not captive prisoners and should not be treated like they are criminals.

The staff members have their own families and children to take care of, they have their own medical appts to go to and their own personal lives outside of work. To expect them to go into some sort of quarantine after work is crazy talk.[/quote]

Depends on the facility.  At my parents assisted living they are being kept in their apartments with food brought to the door.  They are not allowed out (granted they could probably leave) and no one but staff allowed in.[/quote]
