Four former employees of a Florida nursing home will face charges after at least 12 residents died due to unbearably hot conditions inside the center after the air conditioning stopped working following Hurricane Irma in 2017.
In October 2017, the Hollywood Police Department released 911 calls that captured the crisis at the nursing home after it had lost its air conditioning. "Every call made to the governor from facility management was referred to the Agency for Health Care Administration and the Florida Department of Health and quickly returned," Scott's communications director said previously.
A timeline released by the public relations firm for the nursing home says that the center's staff had reached out repeatedly to emergency hotlines and the local power utility in the days after the air conditioning system failed on Sept. 10. In September 2017, after the residents' deaths, Carballo expressed his condolences to family members of the deceased and provided further details on what transpired at the nursing home.
