Three families are suing a home for seniors in Atlanta after the deaths of elderly residents who tested positive for the coronavirus
The lawsuits allege that the home -- where at least 16 residents have died -- failed to take precautions necessary to prevent the spread of Covid-19 among residents and staff at the assisted-living facility."From what we've seen this is the worst single outbreak at an assisted living facility, that we know of, in Georgia," said Fulton County Commissioner Marvin Arrington at an April 17 news conference.Covid-19 is ravaging nursing homes.
A post on the Facebook page of Commissioner Joe Carn, who represents Fulton County's 6th district, confirms the number of infections at the facility.According to the lawsuits, staff at Arbor Terrace failed to comply with restrictions put in place by the facility by"failing to wear Personal Protective Equipment." Asymptomatic staff also continued working at Arbor Terrace after they'd been exposed to Covid-19, according to the lawsuits.
