How Did COVID-19 Get Into Nursing Homes & Senior Care Centers?

This is the question on everyone’s mind right now. Nursing homes and senior care centers knew that the people they serve were among those most at-risk if they contracted coronavirus, and their administrators should have had safety plans in place to prevent their population from contracting the deadly disease.

In many facilities, these plans were either not implemented or they were not adhered to.

If you recently lost a loved one to COVID-19 while they were living in a nursing home or senior care facility, The Barnes Firm could help you gain closure. Our best coronavirus lawyer is available 24/7 to help you go over your legal options and gain closure.

Our Coronavirus Lawyer

The Barnes Firm has been following the situation involving COVID-19 since day one, and we were shocked and appalled when news broke that some organizations such as nursing homes and senior care facilities didn’t take necessary precautions to help protect their patients and residents.

Those organizations have a duty of care, and in many cases, that duty was neglected. Our team thinks that’s wrong, and we’re standing-up for those families who’ve suffered the loss of a loved one.

Nursing homes should have been safe havens for many older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, many were exposed to the deadly illness and wrongfully lost their lives.

These negligent organizations must be held accountable for their actions.

How does a person get coronavirus in a nursing home?
