Connecticut’s Department of Health is trudging through a steep backlog of complaints concerning elder care.
It comes as the volume of grievances filed by nursing home residents and their loved ones have increased in recent years and at a crucial time for health policy – Connecticut’s elderly population is growing, faster than most other states.
Today on The Wheelhouse, we’ll talk with two CT Mirror reporters who’ve tracked issues with elder care in Connecticut for more than a year.
And later, when will Waterbury Hospital be sold to a new ownership group? Did the state address the sale in the most recent legislative session? We’ll check in with a Connecticut Public health reporter to learn more about hospital reform efforts in Connecticut.
GUESTS:
- Dave Altimari: Investigative reporter, CT Mirror
- Jenna Carlesso: Health reporter, CT Mirror
- Sujata Srinivasan: Senior health reporter, Connecticut Public
