\n Dozens of people barred from visiting their aging parents in a state-run nursing home rallied Thursday to demand that officials grant them access to their cooped-up kin.<\/p>\n

The group gathered outside the Westchester office of state Sen. Pete Harckham (D-Peekskill), whose district covers the New York State Veterans\u2019 Home in Montrose.<\/p>\n

Carol Rydell of Westbury, LI, said she and her husband travel<\/a> to the nursing home every weekend for what officials call a \u201cwindow visit\u201d with her 94-year-old mom, Ilse Weinberger, through the facility\u2019s glass front door.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe hates the window visits and to me, a window visit is like looking at an animal in the zoo,\u201d Rydell said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe just deserves more and I\u2019m petrified that she is going to die alone \u2014 and die of a broken heart because her family is not visiting her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Organizer Karen Skinner said she\u2019s been able check in with her mom, Mimi Nichols, 85, weekly via FaceTime, but complained that a window visit last week was monitored by at least five staffers who made sure she didn\u2019t snap any photos.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe lost so much weight you can\u2019t even recognize her because she\u2019s so depressed,\u201d Skinner said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019m not even living in America anymore \u2014 they\u2019re taking all our rights away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gov. Andrew Cuomo banned nursing home visits in March, shortly before the Health Department issued a controversial directive \u2014 now under investigation by the US Justice Department \u2014 that forced the homes to accept \u201cmedically stable\u201d COVID-19 patients.<\/p>\n

Official figures updated Thursday showed that 3,676 nursing home deaths have been caused by the coronavirus, with another 2,783 suspected, for a total 6,459.<\/p>\n

The Health Department lifted the ban on visits last month, but only for nursing homes have gone 28 days without any staffers or residents testing positive for the coronavirus and received authorization.<\/p>\n

The Montrose facility had 11 new staffers test positive, according to a DOH memo posted online Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to find some way to get full human contact with loved ones and family members,\u201d Harckham said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFive, six months is a long time to not have a face-to-face visit with loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

But a Health Department spokeswoman said, \u201cNursing homes that are both eligible under our guidelines and have submitted plans are the only nursing homes allowed to have visitors if they choose, and in accordance with their own individual plans.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
