BLOOMFIELD, CT: Recently, the Connecticut Homemaker and Companion Association and Home Care Association of America Connecticut Chapter presented an Award to Representative David Baram of Bloomfield/Windsor.

The Award recognizes Representative Baram’s leadership on issues related to seniors and those needing home care services. As co-chair of the General Law Committee, Baram has helped address such concerns through the passage of legislation that includes: home care contracts and notice requirements, 90-day prescription refills, medwatch prescription reporting, protection against variable electric rates, consumer protection against fraud, home registry transparency, a patients’ bill of rights, and prescription labeling.

“I am honored to receive this recognition and pledge to continue my efforts to protect the rights of our seniors and homebound population so that they can enjoy the highest quality of life without being defrauded or exploited,” said Rep. Baram.
