[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am concerned about this Rockville Village home and how this may mimic what is happening in Seattle.  My husband (a doc) says Seattle's weather is ideal for the spread of the virus (damp and cold).  Hoping that is the reason and not the fact that a breeding ground of a nursing home helped spread the disease.  There are many elderly people in that home as well as some people going through rehab.  If the gathering in February took place in the main building, that is where the elderly and rehab patients are...and many visitors coming and going daily.

I spent a lot of time there when my aunt was there for rehab after her stroke a few years ago.  The care there is HORRIBLE.  The workers were very negligent.  I went to visit my aunt at 2 pm one day, and she was STILL IN BED.  Her lunch was sitting on a tray UNTOUCHED.  My aunt was a stroke rehab patient with dementia and very underweight/undernourished.  The staff there was so overworked, nobody got decent care.  My aunt was so upset because she wanted to get out of bed, but nobody came to help her.  And when I asked the staff about it, they when on immediate defense and said that she didn't want to get out which is NOT AN EXCUSE when dealing with a dementia patient.  She left that hell hole in worse condition than when she entered with multiple bedsores and an injury of unknown origin.  When she was returned to her home (an assisted living facility), they suspected ABUSE.  I would not doubt it.

With attitudes like that from staff, you can imagine what else they don't do well..like sanitary practices.  I would be very concerned if I had a loved one there or visited recently.  I suspect there will be a similar situation here that happened in Seattle.  I hope I am wrong.

Thank you for posting this. This is so horrible and sad. I'm glad she's out and I hope they were reported. Your husband said what I did - the weather in San Fran and Seattle is perfect for the spread of this illness.[/quote]
