Prevent Nursing Home Isolation!

Over six years ago, family members and friends were locked out of our nation's long-term care communities/nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, causing hundreds of thousands of residents to suffer physical and mental decline from heartbreaking neglect, and many died alone and isolated in their rooms.  Watch the "50 States/50 Stories" video (https://vimeo.com/1006781580  ) about the loss of their human rights during the COVID pandemic isolation lockouts.

PLEASE SIGN AND WRITE A COMMENT ON THIS PETITION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, to prevent this inhumane violation of basic human rights from ever happening again!  The Federal Essential Caregivers Act guarantees that, in any future federal, state, or local emergency, at least one family member or friend designated as an "essential caregiver" has the right to in-person access at all times to their loved one in a federally funded long-term care facility, while adhering to all health and safety protocols.

We must convince our U.S. Senators and Representatives to pass this critical legislation by sharing with them this petition, signed with an OVERWHELMING amount of signatures. For more information on H.R. 9641, the "Essential Caregivers Act of 2026", which got a unanimous vote on July 15, 2026 in the House Ways and Means Committee (38-0!) to move forward to the House, go to https://caregivers4compromise.com/.   Also, click on this link : H.R. 9641 The Essential Caregivers Act of 2026 Text and Press Releases
