Sage Advocacy's Executive Director, Sarah Lennon joined the Joe Finnegan Show on Northern Sound to discuss the new guidance on visiting nursing homes which comes into effect on March 22.

Ms Lennon said nursing home residents will be able to have two visits a week with their loved ones from March 22, which is a very important first step and that Sage Advocacy will be closely monitoring how nursing home providers adhere to the new guidelines and how they accommodate nursing home residents and their families in facilitating the visits.

Ms Lennon said “We know that previous visitor guidance was open to interpretation by nursing home providers and as a result, different restrictions were in place from nursing home to nursing home and from county to county.”
