The Pennsylvania Department of Health has released data that shows that nursing home facilities accounted for more than two thirds of the state’s death toll of just over 4,620 so far. That percentage is lower in Philadelphia, which accounts for the largest percentage of the cases in the state. The long-awaited numbers show that at least 40 people died in West Philly nursing homes.

The following nursing and rehabilitation centers have reported COVID-19 cases and deaths among their residents: 

Care Pavilion Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, 62nd and Walnut: 82 residents (20.71 percent of the total number of residents) were infected; 25 residents passed away. No employee cases have been reported.

Renaissance Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center, 42nd and Chester: 19 residents (15.45 percent) were infected, 5 people died. There were no employee cases.

St. Ignatius Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, 44th and Haverford: 11 residents (6.29%) were infected and there were 9 deaths; no employee cases.

Renaissance Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center was among the first ones in Philadelphia to have a resident test positive for the virus. WHYY spoke to Renaissance medical director Josh Uy, who said that his facility didn’t have enough time to prepare for the coronavirus outbreak, but was doing its best to handle it. He also said that “transparency is only useful if it leads to meaningful intervention.”

Overall in the Philadelphia region (including Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties), long term care facilities lost 12 percent of their residents to COVID-19 and the average infection rate was 44 percent (at some facilities, the infection rate was over 65 percent). But in some cases, the numbers seemed to be erroneous. At Main Line Health’s Abramson Senior Care, for example, the number of patients who tested positive was higher than the total number of beds (40 to 35). The officials are now reviewing these cases.

As of Wednesday, May 20, 1,152 Philadelphians have died from COVID-19 and 20,359 residents have tested positive (3,047 of positive cases are residents of licensed long term care facilities; see graph below).
