A large nursing facility in New Jersey is emerging as a symbol of how nursing homes are being overwhelmed by COVID-19, after an anonymous tip led to the discovery of 17 dead people at the facility.
Patients in New Jersey's long-term care facilities"deserve to be cared for with respect, compassion and dignity," the governor said.
She added,"The facility was required to institute their backup plan for storage of deceased at the local hospital."That same day, she said, an inspection showed a staffing shortage. And the facility's ownership – it is controlled by Chaim Scheinbaum and Louis Scwartz, of Alliance Healthcare, according to official records — was contacted.
The two Subacute buildings sit across the street from each other in Andover, about 55 miles northwest of New York City. New Jersey now has more than 75,000 coronavirus cases, Persichilli and Murphy announced. They also reported 362 new deaths; of that number, 54 people had been living in long-term care facilities.
