A nursing home in rural Maine has found a new partner after a difficult few weeks battling COVID-19 after months fighting the pandemic, which has killed more than a dozen of its residents.
At the end of last year, about half of the staff at Island Nursing Home on Deer Isle came down with COVID-19.
That’s about 38 people, the nursing home’s CEO, Matthew Trombley, said in a Wednesday interview with NECN and NBC10 Boston. At that point, a call was made to the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention to ask for assistance to avoid having to move residents out of the home.
