Video: A way to hug Mom in the nursing home

The Patriot Ledger - 9/10/2020

WEYMOUTH -- It's been tough for many families not to be able to touch, hold hands, or hug their loved ones in nursing homes. A comforting pat can make a parent who is feeling isolated and depressed a little better.

On Wednesday morning I stopped by The Dwyer Home at Fairing Way in Weymouth to see the "Hugging Booth" the staff and maintenance department have created to allow these family hugs to happen.

In this video, you can see a few moments from two family visits. The staff also explain how the booth was created and how it is used.
