Months of caring for older adults in a Rhode Island nursing home ravaged by Covid-19 have taken a steep toll on Silvestri, 37, a registered nurse. At least 15 residents died of Covid-19 at Charlesgate from April to June, many of them suddenly. When Kallon was struck by Covid-19, Gobewoe prayed for her recovery and was glad when she returned to work several weeks later. Gobewoe was told that her death was caused by blood clots, which can be a dangerous complication of Covid-19. "You know residents like family -- their likes and dislikes, the food they prefer, their families, their grandchildren," she explained.
