In retrospect I would have done the same: Force the nursing homes to accept their residents back if the residents have no other options.

However, I would have throw in much more aid to the ones that were forced. Cash + PPE + National Guard. If I couldn't provide help, then I wouldn't force. That would mean that it would be up to the hospitals to figure it out and find a home for them or until they were covid-free.

Obviously I'm playing backseat Covid response governor here. Hindsight is 20/20.

If you have to send residents back, you must create COVID and non-COVID facilities to ensure isolation. You also shouldn't send infected persons there just because you can.
