Covid 19 Remains in PA Nursing Homes

By Walter F. Roche Jr.

Although the pace has slowed records show Covid-19 continues to take lives in Pennsylvania nursing homes and that includes some of those homes which already had recorded 30 or more coronavirus deaths.
Overall records from the state Department of Health show some 3,000 patients have died from Covid-19 in Pennsylvania licensed nursing homes.
For instance at the Conestoga View Nursing Home in Lancaster which had recorded 75 Covid-19 deaths a month ago another two coronavirus deaths were recorded by July 28, the date of the last Health Department update.
At Wesley Enhanced Living at Stapley in Philadelphia 35 coronavirus deaths were reported in the July 28 report while 30 deaths had been reported in the prior report.
At the Northampton County Home-Gracedale, which reported 72 Covid deaths last month, 76 such deaths were reported in the latest update.
A four case death increase, from 50 to 54 also was reported at Allied Services in Scranton. One additional Covid death was reported at the Neshaminy Manor in Warrington, which had reported 47 deaths a month ago.
One additional coronavirus death also was recorded at Old Orchard Health Care Center in Easton, which had reported 33 Covid-19 deaths a month ago.
