In March, however, fewer than 15 new cases were reported each day, and deaths dropped to between one and six people<em> <\/em>daily, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdph.ca.gov\/Programs\/CID\/DCDC\/Pages\/COVID-19\/SNFsCOVID_19.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to<\/a> the California Department of Public Health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Health experts credit a massive nationwide campaign to vaccinate elderly and frail residents and their caregivers. About 87% of the 85,000 people who live in California\u2019s skilled nursing facilities have been fully vaccinated, according to the state health agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is no question whatsoever that the vaccine has made a huge difference,\u201d said Dr. Mike Wasserman, a geriatrician and past president of the California Association of Long Term Care Medicine. \u201cWhen you have a nursing home that is fully vaccinated, the residents are protected, and we are seeing a dramatic decrease in cases and deaths.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deaths and infections also have <a href=\"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/health\/coronavirus\/2021\/03\/when-will-nursing-homes-reopen-to-visitors-state-officials-wont-say\/\">declined<\/a> in California\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/caassistedliving.org\/about-assisted-living\/assisted-living-in-california\/assisted-living-by-numbers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more than 7,400<\/a> assisted living centers and other long-term care facilities. About 3,700 residents and staff there have died from COVID-19.

That\u2019s more than any other state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many long-term care residents, the pandemic\u2019s ultimate toll remains grim, with higher rates of depression, incontinence and weight loss linked to long-term social isolation, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamda.com\/article\/S1525-8610(21)00306-6\/pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\uc0c8\ub85c\uc6b4 \uc5f0\uad6c<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now California\u2019s nursing homes are cautiously reopening.

It just feels more like normal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as she read Shel Silverstein poems to her husband, they had to remain at least six feet apart. While she is fully vaccinated, her husband is not. The 83-year-old former satellite test engineer contracted COVID-19 during the nursing home\u2019s outbreak, giving him some immunity, but because of the type of treatment he received, he cannot be vaccinated until mid-April, Ouida said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said that David, who cannot walk and suffers from dementia, regressed somewhat during his year of isolation. Before the pandemic, she ate at least one meal with him on most days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nursing home where David lives managed to avoid COVID-19 through most of the pandemic, according to administrator Rebecca Turner. But it was struck during the winter surge with an outbreak that infected 47 residents and killed 14.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even as long-term care homes reopen, family members and health experts remain concerned about the number of workers who have been vaccinated, as they have been a primary conduit for infections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turner said about 72% of its residents and nearly all caregivers have been vaccinated, although some of her workers were hesitant at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"709\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/032921_NursingHome_AW_sized_11.jpg?resize=1024%2C709&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Betty Carter, center, participates in group exercise during an activity period with others from her cohort at Lincoln Glen Skilled Nursing Facility in San Jose on March 29, 2021.

Fortunately, pharmacies that serve long-term care facilities now can get vaccinations directly through the federal government, he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think we are taking a short moment to feel relieved. And then we&#8217;re starting to worry again,\u201d Wasserman said. \u201cWe\u2019re not worried about the next three months. We\u2019re worried about what comes after.
