Connecticut recently passed Public Act 21-71 An Act Concerning Essential Support Persons And A State-Wide Visitation Policy For Residents Of Long-term Care Facilities which outlines resident’s need for health, safety, and well-being along with including primary and secondary essential support persons.
In this short episode, Host Mairead Painter explains several vital points about residents' rights and how their voices and families helped this bill get passed. Looking to the future, there are hopes a similar bill will be passed on a Federal level.
