Dad's Holland, Mi. assisted living home had visitor restrictions but the old folks could roam around. They ended up with a case of flu and have locked the patients to their room. He enjoys the activities and socialization and hates being stuck in his room. For several months now I had been planning on going up the middle of April while my sister was taking an Italian vacation. Her vacation is cancelled, I don't know what I'm going to do, I can't see driving 10 hrs to wave through a window, plus I'm scared I could bring something in. I'm not worried, I don't have to be, my wife has enough worry for both of us.
Not that it would be as good as an "in person" visit, but I was wondering if such places might make "video conferencing" available to them, it could help them not feel quite as isolated.
I just got this link in an email related to free ways to keep in touch when needing to practice "social distancing" -
