Major coronavirus outbreak in Canby senior rehab preceded by disregard for safety, lawsuit claims
Updated Jan 20, 2021;
A senior care home employee all but predicted her facility would have a massive coronavirusoutbreak, but her efforts to get managers to act were met with “derision” and she was forced to resign months before her worst fears came true, according to a whistleblower lawsuit filed Wednesday.
A June outbreak at the Canby facility Marquis Hope Village Post-Acute Rehab became Oregon’s second deadliest, with 18 deaths and 113 cases. A separate outbreak on the same long-term care campus has since killed an additional three people and infected 36.
