Covid Free Nursing Homes

 Believe it or not, as of the time of last reporting on February 5th there are still some nursing homes in the state of Massachusetts that have not had any confirmed Coronavirus cases. 

Each day, care  facilities in the state are required to update their standings on current coronavirus cases. It is easy to believe that every long term care facility and nursing home in the state has had the coronavirus in it. Well while this may be true it is not proven. We do know that asymptomatic cases are common, but one would have to imagine that in these care homes, that if the virus was brought in by someone then it would have to have spread to some of that elderly and at risk population. 

Also, the spread of the virus has been found passed from staff members working second jobs to help the corona virus jump from facility to facility.

All in all though regardless of what the situation is, these nursing homes and long term care facilities for week ending on February 5th, in Massachusetts have had no known Coronavirus patients.

These nursing homes that have never had a resident case of the Coronavirus are, as listed below.

So not going to lie, I was skep tical. I was skeptical about getting the vaccine, even knowing that I had already made up my mind to get it.  My wife, was one of the states earliest cases of the vaccine in the state way back when Trump and many others where still routinely calling it the Wuhan virus or Chinese virus. We had no clue what the virus was about, the media was pushing fear and doom putting everyone in a frenz and there was very little real reliable information out there about what was real and not real with this vaccine. Well all I know still for a fact is my wife got it in bad way. Like a very bad case of Covid that rocked her world  and me... I got nothing. Not even a sniffle even though I was quarantined with her. Shared bed with her, breathed her air kissed her, took that virus in deep in my lungs and had kept constantly exposed to it in the home with her. She recovered, I came out of quarantine. I have had a couple Covid-19 tests and negative I still am, ant

EMS avoids Nursing home patients

Nursing homes transports have always been a staple of private EMS providers in Massachusetts. Now with rate cuts the lack of working EMTs (has always been an issue) and the larger companies snatching up new resource intensive contracts, the nursing homes are left out as the undesirables now. Nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities patients as well as home dialysis patients are steadily having a harder and harder time finding transportation, a sharp change that has seen large scale effects within the last few years especially. In 2018, the Bipartisan Budget Act, saw EMS companies looking for new opportunities in revenue as ESRD patient reimbursements got cut. While Covid19 sent many business across the country into survival mode as they began loosing money at an alarming pace, EMS companies across Massachusetts found themselves flush with cash as the opportunity to make greater money with a lower call volume presented itself to those business that were able to adapt quickly and tha

Up until this date we have been working from Governor Baker's Phase 1 vaccination rollout.  So, welcome to Phase 2.  The plan is, with the roll out, to getting the rest of the critical care workers coming face to face with the vaccine as well as those other higher at risks groups.
