“Not doing too well,” she said about her uncle’s condition. “And I’m not able to see him so basically, I really don’t know what’s going on right now.”

“We understand this is an unsettling and scary time for families and greatly appreciate their concern. We are communicating with residents’ family members to keep them informed about the measures the center is taking to provide care for residents while keeping them updated on any significant changes to their loved ones’ condition.”
