(Frankfort, Ky.) - After many months of not being able to see their loved ones, Kentucky announced that they will be lifting the visitation restrictions at assisted living and personal care homes. 

The announcement came last night during Governor Beshear's nightly press conference.  

Kentucky’s Cabinet for Health and Family Services Secretary, Eric Friedlander, announced that beginning Monday, June 29, the state will resume visitations. 

Group activities, of 10 or fewer, communal dining, and off-site appointments will also resume.

“Kentuckians have patiently awaited since March 6 for the opportunity to see loved ones in long-term care facilities again – in person. We are pleased to say that plans are in place to ease back into certain activities,” said Secretary Friedlander.

Even with the activities resuming, the department will still be monitoring COVID-19.

Beginning Wednesday, July 15, visitations will resume in nursing homes and in intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities.
