Consumer Voice, along with several other state and national advocacy organizations, sent a letter urging Leader McConnell and Minority Leader Schumer to pass a COVID-19 relief package that would better protect nursing home residents by 1) controlling the spread of coronavirus in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities; 2) alleviating the isolation, sickness and death of residents; and 3) safeguarding workers who risk their lives to care for them.
