New Hampshire’s phased reopening guidelines for nursing homes will soon be replaced with federal guidance, which relaxes restrictions on visitations, group activities and trips outside the facility.
For several months, nursing homes have looked to a state document, that categorizes homes based on COVID-19 risk, to determine how to reopen safely. Several family members protested that these guidelines were too restrictive when it came to visitations.
