Protect the health and rights of nursing home residents
More than 40 percent of COVID-19 deaths are nursing home residents or staff. But right now, some are responding to this crisis by proposing to protect nursing home facilities from lawsuits.
Missouri lawmakers must protect the health and rights of residents and their families to seek legal justice. Nursing homes and other long-term care facilities need to be held accountable when residents suffer harm, neglect, and even death.
Tell your legislators: Uphold the health and rights of nursing home residents and their families during the pandemic. Reject Senate Bill 51 and any proposal that allows nursing home companies to avoid legal accountability related to COVID-19.
