ESSENTIAL CAREGIVERS RECOGNIZED IN PROPOSED BILL FOR SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITIES
While legislative measures were taken to protect the health of the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic, over time it became clear that such precautions proved to be isolating and potentially fatal for those in long-term care settings.

“A proposed bill in Illinois would allow residents of senior living communities and other congregate long-term care settings to continue receiving essential care from a designated support person despite visitation restrictions, including those implemented under a statewide emergency.”
