BEL AIR — After weeks of not being able to visit each other over coronavirus concerns, one Harford County assisted living community found a way for residents to reunite with their loved ones.
On Tuesday, Brightview Bel Air hosted a car parade so families and residents could see each other from a safe distance.
Even if for a short period of time, the parade gave residents and their families a chance to say hello and express their love for one another.
Several staff members even came in on their day off to be a part of the emotional event, which saw several honking cars lined up with signs plastered. Some family members even brought gifts for staff and residents.
