The purpose of this petition is to reopen long term care facilities in Missouri. They have been shut down since March. The residents in these facilities have not been allowed to see their loved ones for over 6 months - this is cruel for them and their families. Our elderly need our help and support now more than ever.

This shut down has gone on way too long. Our loved ones are suffering more now. The ‘possibility’ of getting it from a family member/friend/non employee who uses the same PPE precautions is the same as any worker.
Regardless of how hard the workers are trying to keep our family members healthy and even trying to comfort them if they have time, it isn’t enough to save our loved ones from the decline of being separated from their family. Which is more important? Quantity or Quality of life??
Not allowing family is elder abuse. You the Department of Health should be held accountable the same way you hold nursing homes accountable.
It is worse than prison
If masks work, let us in!
they need their family more then ever at this time
people are lonely in the nursing homes. They need their families!! And their families need them!!

This visiting thru a screen is ridiculous. She needs us NOW. My son's mil spent the last 3 months of her life alone in a room. And knowing she was terminal.
