BEAVER, Pa. (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - The latest numbers from the Brighton Rehabilitation and Wellness Center show that 38 patients have been infected with coronavirus.
That’s an increase of four from yesterday.
The Beaver County nursing home also confirms that a third patient who tested positive for the virus has died.
A statement says the exact cause of death is not clear.
Management says they have also reached an agreement with workers represented by the SEIU for ongoing operations.
The Center also said in the statement:
“Every person in our community at least partially understands the difficulties and sacrifices being made by our staff to care for more than 460 souls and do their best to keep them out of harm’s way. Some express their feelings as fear; others show love and support; still others respond with humor, or sadness. We understand all of these as we too are all human; the brave and able are all serving for the common good and we plan to stand by our residents to the very best of our ability until we come out the other side of this pandemic. While the prognosis is not as good as we would like for those of advanced age with a host of comorbidities, many nursing home residents are recovering from COVID-19, and all are very worthy of our efforts. We fully intend to continue to give our residents what they deserve — our care, our love, and our best efforts.”
