Earlier this year we had COVID rip through our unit, half of our residents got it. Since it's a dementia unit it's nigh impossible to quarantine people because they either will come walking out and get aggressive if you try to keep them inside, or they'll find a way to fall. While most made it through the quarantine period, it still took its toll, we had 6 die within a few days of each other a bit after we were fully cleared on the unit, they just weren't able to make back out on the other side. To that end, there are a fair few people that now have chronic coughs and we had RSV hit a few weeks later. The ones that died were already pretty precarious but as of now we have a new group that's a bit more precarious and keeps getting sick.
