Keeping Safe: A CDC Update on Respiratory Season for Nursing Homes

During this time of year nursing homes can expect to see an increase in people visiting their loved ones. This increase puts everyone at a higher risk of catching a cold or respiratory illnesses. Join us for a conversation as we dive into the latest CDC guidance on respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19, for nursing home residents. We are joined by Dr. Erika Wallender from the CDC, and Lori Walsh, Consumer Voice Policy and Program Specialist, to discuss practical steps in reducing infection risks and best practices for staying safe during this upcoming respiratory season. We also remind residents and their families of their rights and protections while navigating life in a nursing home.
