This image from an earlier diary got me thinking about how we haven't heard much about all the nursing homes in the New Orleans area.
So I collected addresses and other info from Nursing Home Compare, did Google map satellite searches for some and then found them on the NOAA satellite aftermath shots.
More after the jump...
Nursing homes within 6 miles of downtown New Orleans (none of these are "hospital-based" -- they're known as
freestanding nursing homes):
I have no idea about the number of floors in these places, but I fear the worst for some. Even for those that are not underwater, I can't imagine how they've been able to get the residents out. It's possible some were evacuated in advance.
The image above may be of a resident and nursing assistant from this place below, given that it's located on the western edge of the French Quarter and apparently not underwater. It has 94 beds, and there appear to be no cars in its parking lot:

Update [2005-9-4 12:31:17 by Chance the gardener]: I'm guessing the elder that Aaron Broussard was speaking about (on Meet the Press) was in St. Rita's. Mike Doughney in the comments below provided a link to the location of St. Rita's:
Others have pointed out that there are many other nursing homes in the area, many on lower ground than those pictured above. There are actually 76 nursing homes within 50 miles of New Orleans, and many, many more assisted living residences I'm sure.
I will post an update in coming days about these places (and others up and down the coast) as I find out more.
