Other members are putting touch back into family visits with a “hugging wall”; creating a gift registry for residents; offering drive-through winter wonderlands on their campuses; making PSAs on healthy infection control practices; and creating fun new takes on old Christmas movies. See these and more stories at Making the Most of the Holidays Despite the Pandemic, part of our Member Ideas and Inspiration series.
