08/30/11 Trouble Is Brewing On King Street: Two Nursing Homes On King Street, Are Still Without Power

Town And CL&P Crews Targeted The King Street Nursing Homes Last Night, But Greenwich Roundup Has Learn That The Homes Are Still On Back Up Generator Power

The Greenwich Woods Health Care And Rehabilitation Center on King Street lost power as the storm hit early Sunday, and was still running on generator power two days later.

The generator allows for essential areas, including corridors, medication and therapy rooms, and kitchens to be lit at Greenwich Woods. Patient rooms are still in the dark.

Connecticut Health of Greenwich, another nursing home on King Street, is also using a generator and has similar conditions.

If this situation is not corrected soon there may have to be evacuations of the nursing homes. Some families with power have removed their loved ones temporarily from one of the healthcare facilities.
