Nursing homes more prepared for storm evacuation
LTC Liability Monitor, October 17, 2006
Louisiana governor Kathleen Blanco said the state's nursing homes are better prepared to evacuate than they were when Hurricane Katrina killed 35 residents more than a year ago, reported WDSU in New Orleans. The governor pledged state support to help get the elderly out of harm's way if a nursing home's evacuation plan unravels, she said during a gathering of the Louisiana Nursing Home Association last week. Blanco said one of the lessons of Hurricane Katrina was the need to better evacuate nursing homes and to ensure, for example, that different homes haven't contracted with the same busing services to move residents, according to WDSU.
