A spokesman for Life Care Center of Kirkland said Saturday that 13 residents who have died tested positive for COVID-19. Eleven more residents died, he said, but autopsy results are not yet available to determine whether they had coronavirus.
Thirteen residents of a Seattle-area nursing home who died amid a coronavirus outbreak tested positive for COVID-19, three more than announced previously, according to a spokesman who described conditions Saturday at the facility as far more dire than had been disclosed earlier.
In a typical month, between three and seven residents die of various causes, he said. The nursing home has no information yet on autopsy results that will determine whether the 11 additional residents who died there were infected with coronavirus, he said. “We cannot make any promises that further exposure within the facility is not happening,” Killian said. He said he didn’t know whether each room had a separate heating and ventilation system.
Cheri Chandler of Kirkland, the suburb just east of Seattle where the facility is located, said her 80-year-old father, Bob McCauley, and her 79-year-old mother, Pat McCauley, had visited a friend at the facility. Her father has diabetes and a heart condition, she said.
