7 Louisiana nursing home facilities have had their licenses revoked after at least 7 residents from the homes died when they were evacuated to a warehouse during Hurricane Ida, officials announced.
The nursing homes, which all appear to be under the same ownership, failed to"execute an evacuation plan that upheld residents' human dignity," the state Health Department said in a statement Tuesday.
Local health care workers reported that residents were placed on mattresses that were sitting in stormwater on the floor and that people were left in their own waste,A state surveyor who went to evaluate the situation after hearing that the level of care had"plummeted" was forced to leave without conducting a proper inspection, the state health secretary, Dr. Courtney N. Phillips, said in Tuesday's statement.
