The grief and hardship facing families who lost loved ones to coronavirus in nursing homes can be obscured by daily COVID-19 statistics and news reports. These are the stories of 14 who died at nursing homes run by Trilogy Health Services.
Sharon Williams moved her mom, Reba Hammons, into The Oaks at Northpointe Woods in Battle Creek in 2015. Hammons had been living with dementia for about a year, and her doctor said the socialization and round-the-clock care available at a facility would help."The place was always spotless, clean," she said."They were so good with the residents."
"She was a wonderful lady," said Jack Anderson, pastor of The Church of God of Prophecy in Battle Creek, the church Hammons faithfully attended before her dementia diagnosis."She was always involved, asking about our children and how we were doing." "Of course, when winter came, that was a bit impossible,” she said. “But when the temperature was enough where I could go even for a few minutes, I would do that.”
"In any nursing home, when something like that goes through ... there's nowhere to run and nowhere to hide," she said."You're kind of like a sitting duck."
