If hospital workers were okay with protests and took a knee for them, then they should have no problems with family members having access to their mother and grandmother.

Our aging family members need access to their loved ones! Otherwise, it's a death sentence.

Family members need family. Do not leave them alone.

Keeping family and loved ones out is not something we have ever done in America. It is inhumane. There is nothing more important then for a loved one to be there to advocate for them. It is very important to have your loved ones with you.

Give them access to their mother. Don't let her die alone.

Allow family members (atleast one) in to see their loved ones at hospitals and nursing homes. Having emotional support strengthens the spirit.

Allow family members (atleast one) in to see their loved ones at hospitals and nursing homes. Everyone in the hospital needs an advocate with them.

Patients need one person to help them make decisions about their care. They might know more about a nurse or doctor who hasn’t seen them before.

If the patient and visitor are ok with the risk, there should be nobody stopping them! It’s awful to keep people isolated that NEED their loved ones

You can't keep family away from their loved ones even while hospitalized.

Many patients need an advocate for their hospital stays. If it is anywhere remotely true that 250,000 people die each year under the care of doctors, someone must be a personal caregiver who actually knows the patient.

Totally inhumane! My loved one got his cancer diagnosis alone, had 2 surgeries alone, was held at the hospital even tho he and family requested immediate release to hospice and then died alone!
