Dealing with the deaths of so many children who were in their care, workers at the Wanaque center must cope with their grief while facing intense pressure from government regulators and management at the nursing home to end the virus' deadly spread, according to an article on the North Jersey.com website.
Adenovirus outbreak has killed 11 and sickened 35 medically fragile children at the nursing home.
In interviews, members of the center's staff described an institution in crisis.
Procedures and protocols are changing as the number of deaths increased, the state ratcheted up its enforcement efforts, revenues declined and the owners brought in consultants with expertise in infection control, the article said.
