Scott Karson, President of the New York State Bar Association has appointed Bill Friedlander to a new task force focused on the impact of COVID-19 on nursing homes and long-term care facilities. The Task Force will take a hard look at the statutory and regulatory framework under which nursing homes and long-term care facilities operate and make recommendations for change where needed.
“Nursing homes and long-term care facilities have become “ground zero” for COVID-19,” said Karson. “In this crisis, these facilities have faced all manner of challenges due to the size and health of their resident populations, their staffing needs, the availability of badly-needed equipment and the availability and utility of testing for both residents and staff.”
