This post has been highly requested for quite some time and it’s finally here! I wrote it, took a break, came back to it, didn’t like it, deleted, and re-wrote it again. Here goes:

For those that don’t know, I’m a Speech-Language therapist in a skilled nursing facility – a nursing home, if you will. I was brought onto the team at my current facility March 17th, 2020 just as the US was catching wind of the pandemic and shutting everything down. I never had the chance to experience normalcy in my facility, but I’ll do my best to describe what it used to be like at the others I’ve worked at.
