pandemic and still persists, a scathing report by the U.S Justice Department found Thursday.
The report goes further, saying infection control problems have continued to the present, including during the Omicron outbreaks in 2021 and 2022. The homes are not training their staff properly or monitoring compliance with infection control protocols, among other failures, the report said. Murphy’s administration came under harsh criticism for his handling of the pandemic in veterans homes, with Republicans calling for investigations into his management of the outbreak.
The Justice Department also described the facilities' cooperation with its investigation as "inadequate." Facility staff took Resident C's scooter from him on April 5, without explanation, according to the report, then shut the door to his room, leaving him unable to reach his buzzer to call for help or his cell phone. A day later he was noted to be confused and was administered antibiotics for pneumonia. The same day, he was yelling for help and soon developed a fever. He died April 16 of that year, the report said, with no mention of COVID-19 in his chart.
