KNOWING IT WAS HAPPENING.
I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND WE
WOULD HAVE GONE THERE THE SAME
DAY WE FOUND OUT.
I WOULDN'T HAVE CARED ABOUT
WHETHER SHE HAD A BED TO GO BACK
TO AT THAT POINT.
IT WAS LIFE AND DEATH,
OBVIOUSLY.
WE WOULD HAVE GOT HER.
>> Reporter:  THE HOME
APOLOGIZED FOR FORGETTING TO ADD
AUDREY PROVIDING UPDATES AND SHE
WAS DEVASTATED TO FIND OUT THAT
HER MOTHER'S SICK ROOMMATES WERE
NEVER MOVED OUT.
>> THESE PEOPLE, THEY WERE
SITTING DUCKS.
THEY COULD HAVE BUILT A
STRUCTURE IN THE PARKING LOT AND
SEPARATED THE POSITIVE AND THE
NEGATIVE PEOPLE.
IF YOU CAN'T STAND BESIDE
SOMEONE IN A GROCERY STORE LINE,
HOW DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO KEEP
POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SENIORS IN
A ROOM TOGETHER 24 HOURS A DAY.
>> WE PUT THE FAMILY'S QUESTIONS
TO THE HOME, IN STATEMENTS IT
SAYS IT CAN'T SPEAK PUBLICALLY
ABOUT SPECIFIC RESIDENTS BUT
SAYS IT HAS BEEN UPDATING
FAMILIES WITH REGULAR EMAILS AND
VIRTUAL TOWN HALLS.
IT SAYS IT IS MAKING CHANGES TO
BETTER MANAGE THE OUTBREAK.
IT IS KEEPING SICK AND HEALTHY
RESIDENTS APART AND HIRED DOZENS
OF NEW STAFF AND DEEP-CLEANING
THE FACILITY.
WHAT'S MORE, THE DAY-TO-DAY
MANAGEMENT OF THE HOME IS BEING
HANDED OVER TO A LOCAL HEALTH
NETWORK UNTIL THE OUTBREAK IS
STABILIZED.

>> Reporter:  FOR AL AUDREY, THAT
IS TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.
THEY'RE LET WITH NOT ONLY THE
FEELING THAT THE HOME FAILED TO
PROTECT HER, BUT SHE DID TO.

I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL EVER GET
OVER THAT.
IT'S LIKE A NIGHTMARE.
>> Reporter:  MICHELLE RAISE HER
FATHER AND ALL OF THE RESIDENTS
WHO DIED DESERVE BETTER.
>> THEY'RE THROWING OUR SENIORS
OUT LIKE THEY'RE GARBAGE AND
ACTING LIKE THEY DON'T MATTER
AND THEY'RE GOING TO DIE ANYWAY.
IT'S A COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR
DIGNITY, FOR CARE, RESPECT.
IT'S APPALLING.

BETTER, THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
LET CHANGE THINGS SO OUR EDERLY

GROWING UP AND HAVING EVALINA AS
A MOTHER WAS WONDERFUL.
SHE WAS VERY PROTECTIVE OVER HER
CHILDREN, ESPECIALLIES H ESPECIALLY HER
TRIPLETS.
SHE MADE SURE WE WERE HAPPY IN
LIFE.
AS CHILDREN, I HAD A GREAT
CHILDHOOD.
MY MOM WORKED HARD FOR HER
COMMUNITY BECAUSE SHE KNEW, YOU
KNOW, THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE
EVERYTHING THAT EVERY OTHER AREA
HAD.
WE -- WELL, WE LIVED IN MULGRAVE
PARK AND THEY DIDN'T LOOK HIGHLY
UPON US.
I WAS WITH MY MUM IN THE END.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE HER.
I WANTED THE LORD TO TAKE HER
HOME AWAY FROM SUFFERING.
HE SANG HER IS SONG, PRECIOUS
LORD, TAKE ME HOME AND MUMMY
TOOK HER LAST BREATH.
MY MOTHER WAS MOTHER UPSHAW AND
NAMED QUEEN OF THE PARK.
HER BIGGEST LEGACY WILL BE THE
BREAKFAST PROGRAM AND THE FOOD
BANK.
SHE LOVED THAT.
AND I LOVED THAT MEMORY AND
EVERYBODY MISSES HER.
THEY'RE WAITING TO HAVE A
CELEBRATION OF LIFE FOR HER.
SO EVERYBODY CAN GET TOGETHER
AND ENJOY THE MEMORIES OF MY
MUM.

THE VETERANS DON'T UNDERSTAND
THAT WE'RE THIS A WING THAT
THERE IS COGNITIVE ISSUES AND
ALZHEIMER'S.
AND THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND.
AND SO KOOJI COMING EACH WEEK,
THEY MAY NOT FULLY COMPREHEND
THAT SHE'S GOING TO BE THERE
NEXT WEDNESDAY.
BUT, YOU KNOW, COMING EACH WEEK,
