Nursing homes should be prioritised for personal protective equipment just as other healthcare workers.
In total, 98 of the facility’s residents and staff have tested positive and 17 people associated with the home have died, according to the Carroll County Department of Health.Pleasant View’s experience highlights the struggle that nursing homes are having to keep elderly, frail and sick residents healthy in the epidemic.
LifeSpan-affiliated care centres have since become more strict with staffers, asking them to stay away for 14 days if they work at a facility where someone has tested positive.It requires testing to be expedited through the state’s health department and the creation of separate observation and isolation areas for residents.But the equipment has been in short supply.
