Politico: Three years into the Pandemic, Nursing Home Residents Are Still in Covid's Crosshairs

1. If you have a beloved family member in one of these facilites, you are going to need to

risk upsetting someone to demand/ensure staff are following protocols. But, better than leaving your family member at the mercy of those often poorly trained, low-level staff who are neither vaccinated nor wearing masks (or at least don't wear masks correctly). Now that they have "cover" from the COVID-deniers/Anti-vaxxers and politicians, this is a nightmare. Many states have strong regulations of nursing homes and an agency within the state health department that oversees them. I'd recommend contacting them if you don't get a responsive answer to your inquiries/concerns. IF all else fails, it may be worth the $$ to have a personal attorney contact the state regulatory agency involved with the state's nursing home to express concerns and to inquire. He/she might do so without identifying specific clients so as to diminish backlash.
