JUST IN: Massachusetts has reached a $56 million settlement with the families in the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home COVID-19 outbreak, Gov. Charlie Baker announced.
Employees of the Massachusetts veterans’ home at the center of a devastating COVID-19 outbreak in the spring of 2020 have sued several members of the facility’s former leadership team, alleging they were forced to care for sick and dying veterans, sometimes after testing positive themselves, in “inhumane conditions.”
Nearly 80 residents died and many more residents and staffers were sickened in spring 2020 at the Holyoke home.
