Families of residents at nursing home hit by coronavirus want answers
In Washington state, where nine people have died of novel coronavirus over the past week, including residents at a nursing home, patients' families are anxious and asking for answers.
Vanessa Phelps visited her mother, a resident at the Life Care nursing home a week ago. After the first COVID-19 cases were diagnosed at the facility Feb. 29, the nursing home told Phelps that she should get tested for the virus.
Phelps is now self-quarantined at home. Until Tuesday, she couldn't get in touch with her mother at all. The phone lines at Life Care were busy, and many families nervously emailed each other when they couldn't get through to the nursing home.
"All the families are really worried, not knowing if our loved ones are even alive, if they have the virus," Phelps told ABC News via Skype.
