Strother, her daughter said at least 70 patients was transported Eden special care facilities by the state, by the lack of health facilities in East Texas dependency care in life-support systems.
"There is no nursing homes who need them, and the reason is that they do not want the responsibility," he said. "You do not want to help these people who are on life-support systems."
Damage to specialized care Eden could not report him missing. City managers and lawyers of ownership of the nursing home say that they are working with insurers to determine whether the structure of the patient repaired and reopened, depending on whether the insurance product that covers the cost of repairs.
"The owners are with Johnson and the pace of technical work and the city Longview to determine what the scope of the reconstruction, the code improvements are necessary, and ultimately the cost of all that it is," said attorney Bruce Smith , "Then there is the question of insurance products to try. While all of these questions have been completed, the decision to rebuild or not can not rebuild."

"You do not have to talk to the owners. The owners have not taken this decision," Smith said.
Strother said he does not understand why there is not a nursing home in North Texas for ventilated patients.
"It would be a good income to Longview. Patients were friends, and going to visit," he said. "It is not enough that was about the patient. There are other permanent residents, some had many cooks with Alzheimer's disease and dementia. There, nurses, suppliers, people, patients took to medical appointments. It Trafficking" now without work.
