Illinois Senate subcommittee approves proposals to help nursing home patients
SPRINGFIELD, Ill.- If you have a loved one in a nursing home, you know how much of a challenge it’s been over the past year to see them. Now, an Illinois senator is proposing legislation that could implement rules to prevent social isolation for nursing home residents.
Sen. Jacqueline Collins (D-Chicago) said social isolation in nursing homes associates with a 50% increase in developing dementia. She said the isolation also led to a 29% increase in risk of heart disease.
Senate Bill 2137 would create new rules and provide technology to facilities so residents can spend time with family virtually or watch an online church service.
