As Florida's coronavirus cases begin to flatten, state officials are considering a plan to allow people to visit family members in nursing homes.

Some nursing homes have switched to treating only COVID-19 patients, who bring in more government money. But to make room for them, the original residents are forced out of places they've called home.

Enforcement of rules protecting nursing home residents from antipsychotic drugs has declined during the Trump administration, according to a new report.

Robert Speker wanted to keep spirits up while visitors and outside entertainment were banned due to COVID-19. His ingenious idea: cast the residents as rock stars.
