The family experience in long-term care during the COVID-19 visitation restriction

This report provides results from an online survey of families with residents in long-term care settings during the COVID-19 suspension of visiting to facilities. Overall, despite the difficult situation, the majority of families had a positive view about the facility where their family or friend resided. Facilities played a critical role in helping families stay in touch; their communication strategies--or lack thereof-- were related to family perceptions about the facility.
