The Issue

There are thousands of elders in nursing home facilities that are suffering; some are even dying, from being deprived of seeing their loved ones. They are heartbroken, confused, sad and depressed. Many have given up on life and have passed away from the effects of feeling lonely, abandoned and deprived of the love and affection from their loved ones. This is without question ELDER ABUSE. Our Governor and the Commissioner of the Department of health, have the power to change that. 

If the facility's employees are tested once or twice a week and able to work closely with our loved ones, why should WE, their essential caregivers, not be given the same rights?

We are all willing to get tested, wear the proper PPE, take all precautions necessary, sign a waiver and do whatever it takes to stay safe and COVID free.

Allowing Essential Caregivers to visit their loved ones, only helps the facilities which are all extremely understaffed.

PLEASE SUPPORT US BY SIGNING & SHARING THIS PETITION. Please send this petition to everyone that you know and share on your social media. Our elders desperately need us. Thank you.
