‘No One Should Die Alone’ State Senator Fights For Visitation Rights In Colorado Health Care Facilities
The bill would require all health care facilities, including nursing homes and assisted living facilities, to allow patients to have at least one screened visitor a day unless the CDC has recommended a more restrictive visitation policy. It’s aimed at avoiding the heartbreaking stories that emerged during the COVID pandemic of patients dying alone.
“Can’t we balance the need to protect doctors, nurses and staff with giving a person the minimum love and touch they need?” Sonnenberg, who is term-limited this year, says the bill is maybe the most important one he’s carried in his 16 years at the Colorado State Capitol. It came out of the Senate a month ago after being assigned to committees that were expected to kill it but didn’t. With just three days left in the session, it was finally assigned to the House State Affairs Committee but, as of Monday evening, it had not been heard.
