BUTLER COUNTY REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE issued the following announcement on June 16.
When a resident ofHamilton-based long-term care provider Community First Solutions needed to go recently to a hospital, she was suddenly able to be visited by her family while there.
This was after she had lived for weeks separated from family because of Ohio’s long-term care visitor restrictions put in place because of COVID-19.
However, Brett Kirkpatrick, president and CEO of Community First Solutions, said once she was back at their facility, she again could not receive visitors.
“Imagine from a resident or families’ perspective how that must feel. Imagine how frustrating it is to want to go to the hospital, just so you can interact with your loved ones,” Kirkpatrick said during testimony he gave recently to the Ohio House Aging & Long-Term Care Committee.
