Melinda Bell of Fredonia has seen her 95-year-old mother Mary Sorci twice since COVID began and she’s had enough.
Sorci, who lives at the Chautauqua Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Dunkirk for the last few years, suffers from dementia, but loves her home and the people in it. However, she does miss her family.
“Since the pandemic she’s had COVID, she’s had the shots and she’s fine,” Bell told the OBSERVER. “She’s well taken care of there, however the visitation is ridiculous. We’ve seen her twice in person, 6 feet away in the day room. We see her on Facetime which they do once a week. We have gone to her window and tried to peek in, but they frown on that which is really upsetting, to my brother especially. They really do not like it.”
The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times report that the New York Governor Andrew Cuomo s administration doctored the data in an analysis of the number of nursing home residents who died in the early days of the pandemic.

The newspapers cite a number of anonymous sources indicating the Governor s top aides changed numbers in a July Health Department report in July to show only residents who died inside long-term care facilities, and not those who became ill there and later died at a hospital. The newspaper stories came out as Cuomo s administration was being criticized over a March 25, 2020 directive that sent thousands of recovering coronavirus patients back to nursing homes instead of continuing their care in hospitals.
