A state-run nursing home in Rifle has so far accumulated 15 patient deaths caused by COVID-19, a Colorado department spokesperson confirms.
Colorado Department of Health and Human Services Deputy Director of Communications Madlynn Ruble said the deaths are suspected of stemming from the facility’s “memory care neighborhood.”
“Sometimes it’s hard to control the actions of some residents,” she said. “We can’t lock them in their rooms. This is not the quality of life.”
According to a previous email sent to the Post Independent, Ruble stated the nursing home quickly and the residents who succumbed had multiple comorbidities and were very elderly.
