State Assemblyman Shae Sortwell, who represents District 2, responded to contacts from constituents who are still unable to visit elderly and disabled family members in nursing and assisted living homes one month after Governor Evers’ Safer at Home order has been lifted.
In a news release he said “I am making a personal appeal that nursing and assisted living facilities work with our communities to allow for safe visitations.”
He went on to say, “We know that isolation, depression, and loneliness can be extremely harmful to health and well-being. If common sense safety policies can provide relief to families who are hurting and in need of visiting their loved ones, they should at least be earnestly considered. The people of our communities deserve that much after all they have sacrificed during this pandemic.”
