  • Elder Affairs Virtual Hearing on LTC COVID-19 Reporting
April 16, 2020

The Joint Committee on Elder Affairs held a virtual hearing today to hear testimony on House Bill 4635, An Act Relative to Long Term Care Facility and Elder Housing COVID-19 Reporting. Mass Senior Care provided written testimony supporting the legislation. The legislation filed by Elder Affairs House Chairwoman Ruth Balser would require nursing facilities, assisted living residences, rest homes and elder housing to report to local department of health or to DPH the number of known COVID-19 positive cases and mortalities in the facility. The Department of Public Health would report to lawmakers each week the number of positive COVID-19 cases and deaths in assisted living, elderly housing or long-term care facilities, including demographic data – race, age and sex.
