Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has directed the state’s Health and Human Services Commission to expand visitation options for several types of senior-living facilities.

Solstice Senior Living Executive Director Michelle Kelm said she has been anticipating an announcement like this for months.

“We put a lot of thought preparation and care into being ready for this day,” she said. “We have a digital thermometer that will take temperature of anybody coming into the building, we have electrostatic cleaners that we are using throughout the building a couple times a day along with our regular cleaning processes that have always been in place for our residents.”
