Caring for the Ages
Readers may recall that in March 2020, Life Care Center – Kirkland (LCCK), a skilled nursing facility located in Kirkland, WA, became the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States. By way of brief background, LLCK’s infection control nurse reported an outbreak of an unknown respiratory infection to state officials on February 26, 2020. The County Department of Health did not return her call until the next day, after she called again.
