NEW HARTFORD, N.Y. – Congresswoman Claudia Tenney, R-22, was in New Hartford Wednesday to introduce the federal Essential Caregivers Act, which would allow designated family members to have contact with nursing home residents during a pandemic or other health crisis.
Many residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities had little to no contact with loved ones throughout the coronavirus pandemic, due to policies that restricted visitation.
