Care home still on lockdown as connected COVID-19 cases rise
STANWOOD — Every time Stanwood resident Teresa Warlick calls her 78-year-old mother, she has to explain why they’re not having the conversation face to face.
Warlick has been unable to see her mom, who suffers from short-term memory loss, for more than a week since her care home was struck by the COVID-19 outbreak.
“I usually see her every day,” said Warlick, who’s been told her mother hasn’t shown any symptoms of coronavirus. “It’s been hard because you can’t look her in the eye and see how she’s really feeling or see how she’s doing.”
Her mother is one of about 200 seniors under lockdown at Josephine Caring Community in Stanwood, which provides assisted living, transitional rehabilitation services and long-term care.
As of Friday afternoon, 17 cases had been confirmed in residents and staff at Josephine, according to the Snohomish Health District.
