According to the Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) at the Carlton Senior Living facility in downtown Pleasant Hill, 5 residents and 11 staff have tested positive with COVID-19 as of Wednesday morning, April 8.
On Tuesday, CCHS staff investigated the COVID-19 outbreak at the care home and tested symptomatic people at the site. They were evaluating the feasibility of testing everyone who lives and works there.
Three residents were hospitalized as a result.
I have family members that reside there and that facility has too many workers posited to not yest all residents.
Many residents have different needs and have contact with multiple different workers. Most residents have alzheimers and dementia and not able to care for themselves.
Family needs to know from cchealth dept. that your going to test.. it was said in the news that cchs did test and they have not..as of yesterday Carlton facility was told cchs has not decided yet if they will test. Carlton does not have the staff to check all residents temperature to see if they have a fever. Please help!
