St. Barnabas Nursing Home

St Barnabas Nursing Home reported 18 cases with 2 deaths from COVID19 on 4/7/2020. Six weeks later on 5/19/2020 the PA State releases a report of nursing homes and it shows St Banabas has 61 resident cases, 14 employees and 31 DEATHS ! How did this happen - no followup reporting by local media since 4/7 and no communication from St Barnabas with the community or with families of residents and employees??? I understand COVID19 is causing havoc in nursing homes, but absolutely no communication from St Barnabas or from local media is extremely disappointing. The reporting on 4/7/2020 was done by several local media outlets including KDKA and The Trib among many others - why was there no follow-up after that report? St Barnabas is a large enough organization that they should be communicating with the community and family members on a regular basis explaining what they are doing to fight this awful virus. They have had no communication at all! Look at their website - very little information and their Facebook page has nothing - it only gets updated when they are advertising for help. There has to be a reason why some nursing homes have been hit so much harder than others - why has St Barnabas been hit so bad with the most deaths (50% of cases) in Allegheny County and so many employee cases? St Barnabas also has several locations in Allegheny and Beaver County - are all the cases from one location or is the reported numbers from the State a total of all locations? Communicate St Barnabas - stop hiding and provide information to families and the community!

They took excellent care of my grandfather and great aunt.
