3,000 Covid Deaths in PA Nursing Homes

By Walter F. Roche Jr.

Nearly 3,000 patients in Pennsylvania nursing homes have died from Covid-19, according to data compiled by the state Department of Health.
The data, which was updated this week, shows some 20 nursing homes had 30 or more deaths. The Conestoga View nursing home in Lancaster has reported 75 coronavirus deaths. A Beaver nursing home, the Brighton Rehabilitation and Wellness Center, reported 73 covid-19 deaths.
The Northampton County Home-Gracedale reported 72 Covid deaths.
The same homes reported multiple employees tested positive for the virus. The Beaver home, for instance, reported 109 employees were infected while the Lancaster home had 75 infected employees. The Northampton county home reported 53 employees were infected.
The exact state total of Covid-19 deaths in Pennsylvania nursing homes is likely much higher because the health department was unable to collect any data from dozens of nursing homes
Other homes with 30 or more Covid deaths include Brandywine Hall in West Chester reported 30 deaths, Abramson Residence in North Wales reported 34 deaths, Allied Services in Scranton reported 50 deaths, Chapel Manor in Philadelphia reported 34 deaths, the Neshaminy Manor Home in Warrington had 47 deaths and Parkhouse Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Royersford reported 52 deaths.
