LANSING, Mich. (WSYM) — COVID-19 in nursing homes has brought to light several issues that have plagued the industry for years, lawmakers say.
On Wednesday, a group of bipartisan state representatives introduced a package of bills that focus on those issues.
The bills would require certain data be recorded, require notification to residents and their families when someone is diagnosed with a contagious disease, increase hourly wages for care facility employees and require facilities to post information on how to file a complaint.
Next, the bills will be heard by the House Families, Children and Seniors Committee.
