Maddie Spree's Service Project

Residents aren’t able to see their families during this hard time because of Covid. People are not supposed to come into the nursing home to visit their families. This has been an issue since March of 2020 when Covid first became a thing and started hitting people hard. The most affected are the residents because they are stuck in their rooms and are unable to do anything. Some residents don’t want to eat or anything because they miss their families so much. It also affects the families because they can’t see their family members that are in nursing homes. This also hurts both the families and the residents because some of the rules are you can’t touch, hug, and have to stay 6 feet away from your loved one when you visit them. You will also have to wear a mask while you’re visiting them to keep the spread down.        This issue can be solved by letting the residents talk through their windows with their families or talk through the phone but get to see each other through the windows. Letting a couple family members come in at a time and visit with their families for like an hour or so. Let the residents listen to music to remind them about their families and feel like they are with their families. Show the residents some old photos they have with their families.
