Nearly three-quarters of coronavirus deaths in Arlington are attributable to long-term care facilities, new data from the Virginia Dept. of Health shows.
After long resisting calls to release such data, the state health department today published a list of facilities that have current or past COVID-19 outbreaks, along with the number of cases and deaths at each facility.
Among seven long-term care facilities in Arlington, there were a total of 489 cases and 92 deaths. That’s 20% of all cases (2,396) and 73% of all deaths (126) reported in Arlington as of Friday.
The individual figures for each facility are below.
- Brookdale Assisted Living: 49 cases, 10 deaths
- Cherrydale Health and Rehabilitation Center: 143 cases, 28 deaths
- Manor Care Health Services: 87 cases, 15 deaths
- Regency Care of Arlington: 137 cases, 30 deaths
- Sunrise at Bluemont Park: 14 cases*
- Sunrise of Arlington: 21 cases*
- The Jefferson: 38 cases, 9 deaths
For both Sunrise facilities in Arlington, VDH did not list a death count “to preserve anonymity.”
Federal data for nursing homes, released at the end of May and reported by ARLnow earlier this week, mostly contained lower counts than that just released by VDH, with the exception of an erroneous overreporting of deaths at Pentagon City-based Regency Care.
In Arlington, all but 10 of the coronavirus-related deaths have been among those ages 60 and above, though those younger can still face serious, potentially long-term health consequences from infections.
