TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Families and advocates for the elderly in Kansas argue that with most nursing home residents vaccinated against COVID-19, some facilities' visiting rules need to be relaxed.
A state official who investigates complaints against nursing homes and the elder-care focused Kansas Advocates for Better Care called on the state Tuesday to intervene when homes aren't nursing open enough.
Some industry officials still see a need for caution because of the growing presence in Kansas of the faster-spreading delta variant.
Operators feel they're still facing tough choices after nursing homes were COVID-19 hot spots earlier in the pandemic, but advocates for residents worry that the delta variant could cause homes to lock down again.
