I know they changed this to reporting on Monday and Wednesday and will no longer name the homes BUT I can't find any info at all. Tried LDH website .. anyone found this info?
eta: sorry, I found it.
April 6 (Monday) update for those interested:
COVID-19 cases have been reported by 70 nursing homes in Louisiana. For context, there are a total of 436 nursing homes and adult residential care facilities in Louisiana. Within nursing homes, 363 patients have been reported to have COVID-19; among nursing home residents 103 deaths have been reported. These facilities care for thousands of Louisianans, including older people and those with underlying medical conditions that put them at higher risk for complications and death from COVID-19.
In many cases, a nursing home resident is tested and diagnosed with COVID-19 by a provider outside of the long-term care facility. The facilities have begun self-reporting positive cases to the Department of Health. Due to the volume, the Department is no longer listing individual facilities. The Department continues to work with facilities to minimize the spread of the illness and protect residents and staff. Facilities have been given guidance to minimize the spread of illness.
The Department will update the number of nursing homes with COVID-19 cases, the number of nursing home residents who are confirmed to have COVID-19 and the number of deaths among these residents on Mondays and Wednesdays.

70 out of 436 nursing homes reporting positive cases
103 deaths out of 363 positive cases
I am honestly shocked there aren’t more

Covid did some of those people a favor, based on nursing home conditions.

Gee, I wonder why they stopped reporting the names of the homes>
By the way, the nursing home lobby is second only to the plaintiff attorneys in funding the JBE campaign.

Louisiana politicians own most of the nursing homes.
