Help our residents of NY State Nursing Homes see their Families!!

There must be a way to safely see each other. Loneliness can be worse than death.

It is not mentally healthy for anyone to not be able to see their family.

My family can’t visit my aunt. This is unacceptable. How much longer must we wait?

This is desperately needed.

So unfair. Visits should be allowed outside with all precautions followed.

Love heals and our elderly need to see family.

I’m only 73 and get to see my family frequently. If I were a resident of a facility I don’t think I’d be able to continue without physical contact with family. How terribly sad that would be.

Please allow visitors. How can people go this long without seeing family ? Heartbreaking !

I am in the same exact situation as you! Have not seen my mom since March and no end in site. Thank you for starting this petition. Something needs to be changed!

Please reconsider some of the COVID 19 regulations as it pertains to Nursing Homes particularly the time-frame for COVID 19 visitation from 28 to 14 days. The residence of these homes need their families to survive, some of the residence are dying of loneliness ironically from the regulations that.were created to keep them alive. This slight change can save lives

Please, there must be something that we can do to help this cause. No one under any circumstances should ever be alone.

Lisa—Hope you get see your Dad very soon. It’s definitely not a well thought out rule, like some many I have seen lately by many government officials!

I feel for you. Hope you get to see your dad soon.

It is sheer madness to disallow families from seeing their elders. They at eat risks of dying on the daily at their ages and NEED LOVE AND COMMUNTIY durning these last days/ months / year(s) of their lives. THEY should be allowed to choose if they are able to see their loved ones and take the risk. It should be their choice and in between they can quarantine from other residents.

The mental health for all family members is at stake. Please allow visitation outside with masks and socially distancing. PLEASE. It will bring so much joy to so many. Thank you, in advance.

Sending prayers and much love. So hope you get to see your dad.

I hope you all get to see your Dad soon.❤️

Praying you can see your dad soon.

Please let these senior parents see their families.

Please please open up the nursing homes again!!
