Samantha DiMascio reports for News10 in Albany that a after a fourth resident died from COVID-19 at The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at Barnwell in Valatie, relatives of those living there want more transparency. “At this point, it’s just getting aggravating, ya know,” said James Parker. His 96-year-old mother is a temporary resident there, and he says the staff has not been forthcoming about the situation at the nursing home. “Yesterday [Thursday], he [administrator] said there’s no new cases reported in the Barnwell facility and we’re doing our best to flatten the curve,” said Parker. But the Columbia County Health Department, there were new cases on Thursday last week. And now Parker’s mother has COVID-19. “Seven cases to 70 in seven days. Then it went from 70 to 117 in two days. They’re not being square with me. They have a crisis down there, and they’re making it sound like, as of yesterday, that everything is fine,” said Parker. Columbia County Health Director Jack Mabb said the facility is just slow with reporting. “This is an extraordinary event for any kind of a facility to have this kind of massive testing going on, and I think maybe they’re just a little bit behind on catching up on their list,” Mabb said. The administrator for the Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at Barnwell did not call the television station back with a comment.
