Former Monterey High football coach celebrated his 100th birthday. He first came to the Peninsula in 1952 where he landed a job as the varsity football coach for Monterey Union High School. At a young age, he lettered in football, basketball and track in high school before going on to play at Ohio State. He served in the Army Air Force during World War II before going on to get a Masters Degree in Education from UCLA.
I recently wrote about the fact that although the number of cases of coronavirus in nursing homes is low as a percentage of all cases, they account for a full 40% of deaths from COVID-19. California’s Department of Public Health has listed 21 skilled nursing and assisted-living facilities that have reported COVID-19 cases. The worst by far is Windsor Monterey Care Center at 78, followed by Pacific Coast Post Acute at 72, and Windsor The Ridge Rehab Center which has had 67 patient cases and 62 staff members carrying the virus. Cypress Ridge Care Center has had 49 patients with coronavirus and 40 staff members, while Windsor Skyline Care Center has had 47 patients and 14 staff members with the virus.
This data shows why local hospitals are discharging many patients to their homes rather than have them go to a rehab center prior to going home.
