FIGHTING FOR YOU

Nursing home virtual visitation bill keeps families connected
During the 2018 legislative session, AARP Louisiana championed the Nursing Home Virtual Visitation Act which gives nursing home residents and their families the ability to install a video monitoring device in their room, allowing them to remain virtually connected to their loved ones and be an integral part of their care team. This also helps nursing home residents to communicate visually with their family members, especially when they are unable to do so verbally.
