Questions about Gabriel House living conditions and emergency preparedness continue to swirl following Sunday’s deadly fire.
More than 75 percent of Gabriel House residents are enrolled in Medicaid, state officials have said, and it charges significantly less than a typical assisted living facility does for private-paying patients.
A Massachusetts assisted-living center where nine residents died in a fire was cited for failing to immediately report more than two dozen health and safety incidents.
We lost nine folks last night in this terrible tragedy and our hearts and our sympathies are with the families,” Gov. Maura Healey said Monday morning.
Gabriel House residents described a chaotic scene Sunday night before they were rescued from the blaze that left nine dead and dozens more injured.
