RICHMOND, Va. -- Nearly a year after nursing homes and long-term care facilities had to lockdown due to the pandemic, federal health officials expanded visitation recommendations, giving families the green light to visit their loved ones.
"It’s just so much better now. We’re excited," said Patricia Crone as she sat inside the Hermitage Richmond long-term care facility.
Four years ago, the 93-year-old Richmond native made a home at the facility, while enjoying regular visits from family.
But Crone said the last year had thrown some curveballs -- from having to be served meals in her room (instead of the dining room) and talk to her daughters through a window last Spring.
