ORLANDO, Fla. — A senior living group in Central Florida wants the health department to specify which facilities no longer have active cases of the coronavirus.

Sonata Senior Living is urging state regulators “to clearly indicate the correct and current status of assisted living communities with positive cases,” said Chief Operating Officer Shelley Esden in a statement.

On Saturday evening, the Florida Department of Health released the names of 303 nursing homes and assisted-living facilities that have had positive cases of the coronavirus. The list does not specify which facilities now have active cases, nor does it specify how many cases each facility has had.

“Listing communities with previously resolved cases may, unfortunately, discourage operators from proactive testing and early detection,” Esden said.

Furthermore, the Florida Senior Living Association asserts two Central Florida facilities on the health department’s list have not had any positive coronavirus cases: Gentry Park Orlando and Sonata West.

Spectrum News 13 has reached out to the health department for comment. 

Esden would like the health department’s list be updated to include the number of tests given at a community, as well as separating the cases by current and resolved.

As of Monday, Sonata has five active cases of the coronavirus out of the 1850 tested: two at Serenades West Orange and Three at Sonata Boca Raton, according to Esden. All five are scheduled to be retested this week, and other residents and staff will be retested to ensure the virus does not spread.

Meanwhile, the Florida Health Care Association (FHCA) also wants the health department’s list to specify which cases are active, and in addition identify the types of facilities next to the homes’ names so people have an idea of the different levels of care.

“We share the Governor’s desire for transparency and hope moving forward he works with us on creating a more consumer friendly report that will benefit the public and tell the true story of our heroic long term caregivers who have worked vigilantly to keep their residents safe,” said FHCA Spokesperson Kristen Knapp.
