Thank you Senator Jamie Eldridge!
In-depth, investigative Washington Post story on Tennessee-based Life Care Centers of America, and the management's irresponsible practices, both before and during the pandemic, including the Life Care Center of Nashoba Valley in Littleton:
"One afternoon in March, the local fire chief called state Sen. Jamie Eldridgege (D) and described two dozen ambulance runs to the facility in a single weekend.
“Something’s going on there, but no one at the Life Care Center will tell us,” Eldridge recalled the fire chief saying.
Eldridge reached out to the nursing home and to local and state health authorities, worried that residents, first responders and caregivers had been exposed. Much like in Kirkland, he said, Life Care provided little information.
“I literally live 15 minutes away from this nursing home,” he said. “It was just maddening to me that essentially state government didn’t have the authority to intervene. We were relying upon a nursing home that’s owned by a large corporation based in Tennessee that was being very unresponsive.”
