Welcome.
On July 30 of this year, The Albany Update reported the following:
“On July 23, 2021, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that it would not investigate any publicly-run nursing homes in New York for allegedly violating the civil rights of nursing home residents by following the March 2020 New York State Department of Health directive that required certain nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients. The Department of Justice also announced that it would not investigate similar claims in regard to nursing homes in Michigan, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania.”
Jack Halpern, Founder & Chairman of MyElder
Here to discuss the announcement and reveal what he calls “another bombshell” regarding New York State nursing homes is Jack Halpern, Founder and Chairman of MyElder. The company specializes in assisted living and nursing home placement, hospital and nursing home crisis intervention and other elder care services. Mr. Halpern has also appeared as an expert witness on Court TV and as a commentator on network and cable television. In 2011, he was presented with the Senior Care Humanitarian Award by Sephardic Nursing Home in Brooklyn, NY.
Note: This interview was conducted on August 2, 2021, which was a day before New York State Attorney General Letitia James held a press conference to announce an independent investigation found that Governor Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed women in and outside of his administration. The attorney general’s office is still investigating how the governor and his administration handled the Covid-19 outbreaks and deaths in the state’s nursing homes.
