CARTHAGE â Following what families of residents are saying is a lack of communication from Carthage Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing, the nursing home is attempting to quell rising frustrations. But families are still disappointed.
Carthage Center, 1045 West St., has now experienced 58 positive cases of COVID-19 among the resident population, and 35 staff members have also tested positive to date. Staff members who test positive are quarantining at home, while residents of the 90-bed facility who have tested positive are in a dedicated wing for COVID-only residents.
The center does not allow visitation at this time, and due to this, families wishing to receive updates on residents say thereâs been no communication from the facility.
Jefferson County s legislature chair says he’s fielding a number of complaints about a nursing home dealing with a COVID outbreak. Families say there’s a lack of communication.
