NY Lawmakers Consider Probe into Cuomo Administration Directive Sending Coronavirus Patients into Group Homes

Hannah Bleau 16 Mar 2021

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) administration could face another investigation as state lawmakers consider probing an in-tact April directive requiring group homes for the disabled to accept recovering coronavirus patients.

The April 10 directive states, “No individual shall be denied re-admission or admission to a Certified Residential Facility based solely on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19.”

It reads in part:

    Any denial of admission or re-admission must be based on the residential provider’s inability to provide the level of care required by the prospective individual, pursuant to the hospital’s discharge instructions, and based on the residential provider’s current certification.

    Additionally, providers of Certified Residential Facilities are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized individual, who is determined medically stable, to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission. Residents who are symptomatic should only be discharged to a certified residence if there are clinical staff available who are capable of attending to the medical needs of a symptomatic resident, pursuant to hospital discharge instructions.

The directive, similar to the now-rescinded controversial March 25 directive requiring New York nursing homes and long-term care facilities to accept coronavirus-positive patients, still remains in place. Senate Investigations Committee Chairman James Skoufis, a Democrat, is considering launching an inquiry into the group home directive after speaking with concerned Republicans, including Sen. Mike Martucci, whom the New York Post described as the “ranking Republican on the panel overseeing the office for developmentally disabled persons.”
