Safe 'Hugging Booths' Allow Seniors to Connect With Family During Coronavirus Pandemic

Amber Crenshaw and her husband, Steve, have created "hugging booths" where seniors at an assisted living community in Texas can safely meet and hug with family during the coronavirus pandemic, reports Fox News . The Crenshaws, who own a business called Handle With Care, work with the Unlimited Care Cottages community. The booths are designed to fit into a standard door without gaps, and constructed from materials that the virus cannot transmit through. "Just the power of touch is so important because it's been since March since these family members and the residents at the homes have been able to touch and hug," said Amber. "Through this, we've been able to create an opportunity for them to reach out and have a touch."
