‘It’s a sinking ship’: COVID-19 deaths triple at state-run vets nursing home as families clamor for information
PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY AND VETERANS AFFAIRS

CHESTER COUNTY, Pa. (Tribune News Service) — They’re dying.
Almost every day over the last two weeks, military veterans and their spouses have been dying at a top-rated, state-run nursing home in Chester County ravaged by the coronavirus.
One, two, four a day.
The death toll nearly tripled over a five-day period at the sprawling, 283-bed Southeastern Veterans’ Center complex in a wooded stretch of East Vincent Township, near the Schuylkill. As of Friday, 26 residents who had tested positive for COVID-19 or were presumed to be infected have died, according to the Chester County coroner.
“They’re sitting ducks, the veterans,” said Nadine Bean, daughter-in-law of a 95-year old World War II veteran who lives there.
Bean, a clinical social worker, said families as a whole have been happy with their loved ones’ care, and the staff amenities at the five-star nursing home, which has a waiting list and is run by the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. But as the state agency scrambles to contain the coronavirus, the nursing home has concealed the true scope of the deaths and outbreak from vet center families.
