Phil Murphy on Wednesday unveiled and endorsed recommendations on improving nursing homes’ responses to outbreaks after COVID-19 ravaged long-term care facilities in the state.
The 100-page report calls for improving nursing homes’ emergency response by consolidating operations for all facilities in a single center.
The plan also called for increasing wages and ensuring access to paid sick leave. The report was compiled by consultants at the firm Manatt, which Murphy’s administration hired for $500,000, according to records obtained under the open records act. RELATED: Nearly 50 Pa.
