CLEVELAND Louise Yasinow Shultz, 87, died Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2021, in Cleveland.
She was born in Cleveland on Jan. 30, 1934, the daughter of Dr. Aaron B. and Rose Makoff Yasinow. She lived in Warren most of her adult life until she moved to Stone Gardens in Beachwood in 2018.
She was a January 1952 graduate of Cleveland Heights High School and a 1956 graduate of The Ohio State University with a degree in vocal music education. She was married to Dr. Bernard S. Shultz from 1953 until his death in 2012.
Louise was an elementary music teacher in the Warren City Schools for 14 years and a substitute teacher in several school districts. She had a second career of 17 years with the Area Agency on Aging in Youngstown as coordinator of volunteers for the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program. After her retirement, she worked as a caregiver for Comfort Keepers.
Many facilities appear to be latching onto the caveat that they should only reopen if they feel safe enough to do so. That leaves a lot of leeway for facilities to keep their doors locked, said Melissa Seifert, associate state director of AARP Michigan.
“There was an executive order saying that (the state would) encourage in-person visits if they are able to do so. That ‘able to do so’ is a very broad definition.”
A few places are getting creative, employing hugging stations or visiting booths to help alleviate the isolation and loneliness felt by residents. But some argue more is needed.
