Almost five years ago, family members and friends were locked out of our nation's long-term care communities/nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, causing hundreds of thousands of residents to suffer physical and mental decline from heartbreaking neglect, and many died alone -isolated in their rooms. Watch the above "50 States/50 Stories" video (CLICK ON THE PHOTO OF THE PEN TO SEE THE VIDEO) about the loss of their human rights during the COVID pandemic isolation lockouts.
Please sign this petition as soon as possible to prevent this inhumane violation of basic human rights from ever happening again! Leave a comment too, to give it more attention! The Essential Caregivers Act of 2024 guarantees that, in any future federal, state, or local emergency, at least one family member or friend designated as an "essential caregiver" has the right to in-person access at all times to their loved one, while adhering to all health and safety protocols.
We must convince our U.S. Senators and Representatives to pass this critical legislation by sharing with them this petition, signed with an OVERWHELMING amount of signatures. For more information on the Essential Caregivers Act of 2024, please go to caregivers4compromise.com.
