Safer at Home with Visiting Angels
This year has brought us so many things we could never have imagined to see in our lifetime. Covid-19 has been wreaking havoc globally for what now seems like forever. Even with the knowledge and research being done, there are still many, many people dying of this illness. The most susceptible group of people are those over the age of 60 and those who reside in group facilities, Nursing Homes, or Skilled Nursing Facilities.
These different types of facilities are not closely monitored in terms of their rules and regulations. Rules and guidelines are not followed, and the result is death. Each one of those deaths is someone’s family member, they have a story behind them, and their time was cut short for lack of rule following. As you can see from this story published in the LA Times, both, how easy it is to find a loophole and make a way to maintain operations of several facilities at once and how much pain one of these deaths causes.
In California alone there have been more than 2000 Nursing Home residents and more than 60 facility employees have died from Covid-19. That accounts for approximately 43% of the deaths in the entire state. That figure is staggering! The reasoning behind that is lack of proper protective equipment, not being honest to caretakers about their clients (and vice-versa), as well as many facilities not having adequate space to properly quarantine patients who have tested positive.
