State inspectors found violations in 2023 at Fall River assisted living facility where 9 died in fire

When the deadly fire broke out Sunday night at Gabriel House in Fall River, Massachusetts, the assisted living facility had 70 residents, but how many staff members were working? Paul Lanzikos is with the advocacy group Dignity Alliance, and tells the I-Team, "it's probably the lowest staffing point of the week and folks are in their beds, that's when folks need the most assistance. How well trained and capable were the staff that were on duty?" Assisted living residences are allowed to come up with their own plans for staffing, the state only requires it be reasonable to address the needs of residents. In the case of Gabriel House, the last time the state inspected the facility was in October of 2023. At that time, inspectors found violations related to staffing and emergency preparedness. The residence submitted a corrective action plan and was allowed to operate without any additional inspection until 2025. Debbie Johnson works at Gabriel House as a nursing assistant, and said the home was dirty and poorly staffed. "This place was horrible," Johnson said. "Everybody else you talk to is going to sugarcoat this, but there's no sugarcoating whatsoever. I cannot say one good thing about that place. Not one." Earlier Tuesday, the Executive Office of Aging and Independence held a special commission meeting on assisted living residences, which have few requirements and unlike nursing homes have little to no state oversight. Leaving Dignity Alliance with questions about how prepared Gabriel House was for emergencies. "How frequently have fire drills occurred? Evacuation drills? What has been the training for staff? What's been the staffing ratios close to 11 o'clock on a Sunday evening? We'd like to see all those requirements significantly increased," Lanzikos said. "Training, staffing and inspection." The I-Team also found little transparency around assisted living residences. The Executive Office of Aging and does not post any records or inspection reports online.

Woman's Fiancé Calls Her 'Lazy' for Wanting to Hire a Full-Time Maid. He Thinks She Should 'Do More Around the House'

A woman on Reddit admits she's burned out from balancing work, cooking and housework in a two-dog household Her fiancé objects to hiring a full-time maid, calling her 'lazy' despite their ability to afford it She questions whether it's fair to split finances 50/50 while still being expected to handle most of the choresA woman turns to the Reddit community for advice following a heated disagreement with her fiancé over hiring a full-time maid. She shares that both she and her partner have good jobs and split their finances evenly, but she actually earns a bit more than he does. They live together with two large dogs, a golden retriever and a border collie, which means their house gets messy quickly. 'When we first moved in, I took on most of the cleaning and cooking,' she writes in her post, explaining how she enjoyed cooking for her fiancé at first, and sometimes they would order takeout when she was too tired. But the demands of juggling work, house chores and cooking eventually became overwhelming for her. 'After months of juggling work, house chores, and cooking — sometimes even having to cook while in the middle of meetings — I burned out. Completely,' she confides. The couple agreed to hire a part-time maid, which she says isn't expensive where they live, and it helped lighten her load. However, the maid doesn't come every day, so she still finds herself making breakfast for both of them and serving it before he wakes up. Recently, she suggested hiring someone to clean every weekday to keep the house in shape and relieve some of her stress. Her fiancé's reaction was less than supportive. 'He got really upset and said it wasn't necessary, that I'm being lazy, and that I'm trying to avoid any responsibility for housework,' she reveals. She points out that she has shouldered more than her fair share of the chores for a long time. 'When I used to cook, he would wash the dishes but let's be real, cooking a full meal is a lot more work than just washing dishes,' she says. Despite her efforts to explain her feelings and the benefits of more frequent help, her fiancé remains unconvinced. 'He still thinks it's not justified to have daily help and that I should do more around the house,' she shares, expressing her frustration. She also highlights the fairness issue, noting, 'I told him I find it unfair that we split finances 50/50, I work full-time, and he still expects me to be the one taking charge of the house chores.' She feels like he's not willing to make things easier for her, even though they can afford it.

The woman stands her ground, asking the Reddit community, 'AITA for wanting to hire a maid Monday through Friday and standing my ground?' She explains that her fiancé argues, 'being able to afford it doesn't mean we should do it,' and that he's annoyed she's been doing less and less in the house and giving more responsibility to the maid. But for her, the extra help has been a game changer. 'Honestly it's been heaven waking up to food on my plate and not having to worry about crossing my meetings with cooking time,' she admits, while her fiancé insists she's just 'avoiding basic adult everyday stuff.' Now, she's left questioning whether she's in the wrong for wanting to make life a little easier, or if her fiancé's expectations are out of line. Read the original article on People

Massachusetts assisted-living blaze kills a musician, secretary, and veteran Army sharpshooter

Gabriel House had seen better days. The 100-unit assisted-living facility that burned Sunday night , killing nine people so far , opened in 1999. Some photos on its Facebook page show neat rooms but older-looking carpeting and furniture. Her granddaughter didn't like the assisted-living center, but 86-year-old Eleanor Willett wanted something that left her money to play the slots at a casino. She earned too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to afford a higher-priced assisted-living facility, Holly Mallowes told The Associated Press Tuesday. 'She said, 'I don't need much, but a roof over my head and someplace to put my sewing machine,'' Mallowes said. Willett was the oldest to die. Here's what we know so far about the victims. A Massachusetts native, Willett spent more than 20 years as a secretary and even worked briefly as a cocktail waitress, her granddaughter said. Her home was always a base for everyone in her family, Mallowes said. 'My mom worked a lot and Grammy's was always a place we called home,' said Mallowes, 45. 'We lived with her often. She was very strong. She outlived two husbands and raised five children. She was absolutely a joy.' Mallowes, a paralegal who lives in Dartmouth, described her grandmother as 'very religious' and a 'devout Catholic.' 'She wanted to be somewhat independent,' Mallowes said of Willett's decision to move to Gabriel House in Fall River , about 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of Boston. 'To leave her home alone all day, I was to afraid something might happen.' 'As our grandparents and parents get older, we say 'I'll make it to go see them a different day' and you always put it off,' Mallowes said. 'See them while you can. Tomorrow is not promised.' Mackin, 71, was a violist who performed in Boston-area orchestras, according to her nephew, Austin Mackin. She was described in a statement from family members as 'gifted beyond words.' 'We will all miss Kimmy,' the statement read. 'Beyond being exceptionally kind, few knew that she was a brilliant musician.' Kim Mackin received a full scholarship to the Manhattan School of Music and after graduating, toured the world as first chair viola. Breonna Cestodio described her 78-year-old uncle, Rochon, as 'a very quiet guy,' yet a 'great guy.' 'He kept to himself,' she told reporters. 'He was a sharpshooter in the Army. He loved getting visits from all of his nieces and nephews.' Rochon moved into Gabriel House about a year ago. Cestodio had little good to say about the facility, remarking that it always seemed hot inside the building. 'Every time you visited him, he was sweating,' she said. 'No air in the building. I never saw any workers, except in one closed-off section. I never saw any workers.' —- Associated Press writer Mark Scolforo contributed from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
