BATON ROUGE - A recent report from the office of the Louisiana Legislative Auditor revealed just how much of an impact the COVID-19 health crisis had on the state s nursing facilities.
According to an analysis from auditors, Louisiana’s nursing facilities faced staffing challenges throughout the pandemic due to staff exposure to COVID-19, illness, or the need to care for family members.
Auditors say that in addition to this, nursing facilities did not have adequate access to certain types of personal protective equipment at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
