Paramus NJ, Senator Anthony M. Bucco said group homes and long-term care facilities are almost certain to face a staffing crisis resulting from a new executive order by Governor Phil Murphy.

That will lead to unnecessary tragedies in facilities that have already sustained thousands of deaths during the pandemic.”
