“I was thrilled to support HB 5001 as it passed the Senate and heads to Governor Lamont for signature. This landmark legislation reflected past efforts by me and other aging-in-place leaders and will provide crucial protections and support to our aging population and their families/caregivers. This bill contains multiple provisions that I have been pushing for years: an inventory of bad actors to protect home healthcare workers; training for homecare workers in dealing with harassment, elder abuse, and discrimination; and training for family caregivers on seeking help through an ombudsman when they meet a dead end. This legislation will do tremendous work to help our seniors age in the setting of their choice.”
