On the plus side, I was quoted in the NYT on an important topic. On the minus side, I really, really use too many words when I talk to reporters. Anyway, let nursing home residents have cameras.

The Center’s new Issue Brief explores the role #Medicare does, and could, play in supporting older and disabled beneficiaries and their caregivers at home. Written with support from @johnahartford to advance the RAISE Family Caregivers Act. https://t.co/d6shDaM556

Here's another great fact sheet looking at Covid and older adults, this one focuses on #ageism.

[Jehl Law Group @jehllawgroup]

There is a disproportionate number of #NursingHomeDeaths and #longtermcare residents dying from COVID-19. #Neglect and poor care are contributing factors. More on how Congress is addressing #elderjustice in America via @ElderJustice @NextAvenue: https://t.co/aOj5pDoG3A #elderlaw

The best chance for #Congress to meaningfully address elder justice will come with the next emergency package to deal w/ the #pandemic. That package may include the Elder Justice Reauthorization Act & #nursinghome reforms: https://t.co/SYcmoCdULV via @nextavenue @MatzBlancato

[Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont]

Compared to where we were over two months ago, we couldn’t be more proud of the low case numbers you see today—but we have to keep doing everything we’ve been doing to keep them down. Wear a mask, remain socially distant and get tested. Keep it up, Connecticut!

[ElderAbusePrevention @endelderabuse]

Like #DomesticVviolence, #ElderAbuse Appears To Be Climbing, Too: https://t.co/Nib5Sa9HdD As states open up and #olderadults emerge from isolation, victims might feel safer to seek help or interact with members of the public who could report signs of abuse. #WEAAD2020 @ncall_us

[Justice in Aging @justiceinaging]

With half of all #COVID19 deaths linked to #nursinghomes, the expansion of home and community-based services through #Medicaid is more important than ever. If we don’t #FundMedicaid to help ppl remain at home, older adults will continue to die alone in institutions

Help seniors avoid COVID-19 health scams.
Scam emails and calls related to COVID-19 may target seniors, who often have heightened health concerns.

[CNPEA @cnpea]
