Shocking numbers revealed by the State of New Jersey show that more than half of the deaths that have occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic in New Jersey have been at nursing homes. According to state figures, 4,151 of New Jersey’s 8,244 deaths were in managed care facilities and nursing homes. 509 facilities have reported COVID-19 outbreaks. Now, the Attorney General’s Office is looking into misconduct at these nursing homes. “We’re asking for your help. Do you have firsthand knowledge of misconduct at a New Jersey nursing home or long-term care (LTC) facility during COVID-19? Let us know. Report it at covid19.nj.gov/ltc,” the OAG office said.
