Lack of readiness, questionable federal inspection helped fuel first U.S. COVID-19 outbreak

When a nursing facility outside Seattle found itself in the middle of the first known U.S. outbreak of COVID-19, the response was hampered by a lack of viable tests and a federal inspection that diverted time away from patient

 

Nancy Butner: We desperately needed staff. We needed nurses and aides to help us-- care for the patients. 

In the first four days, 27 Life Care residents were taken to the hospital, by the end of the week, seven residents had died inside the home. With a house on fire, it would take, not 24 hours, but 5 days for the strike team to arrive. But before doctors and nurses turned up, another federal agency moved in, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services - not to help with patient care, but to investigate the nursing facility.

 

Life Care was fined more than $600,000. In addition, the state inspectors, working in partnership with federal investigators, filed their own report, accusing Life Care of the same serious mistakes they say cost lives. Life Care appealed both and in September, a judge in the state case sided with the nursing facility and concluded that it was not a case of negligence. Although the federal case is still pending, Nancy Butner sees this as vindication for Life Care of Kirkland.
