Nursing Home Evacuees
Does anyone have information regarding the residents who were evacuated from the Chateau Living Center (a nursing home) in Kenner?
Returning Home?
I’ve had many queries from people who wonder whether the arrival of the National Guard in Algiers means that they can now come home.
I’m hoping to make contact with whoever is in charge of the NG in Algiers. If I manage to connect, and if they’ll tell me anything about timelines for return, I’ll let you know. Until then, though, I am still working on the last information I had – which is that they are requiring everyone to leave. That would seem (to me) to preclude a return… yet.

Today on Baton Rouge TV a resident from Algiers call Susan Roesgen on TV in Baton Rouge to ask for food as she had run out and there is no food being given out on the West Bank of New Orleans. There is word on Baton Rouge TV that the Belle Chasse Base will be up soon, perhaps tomorrow. Maybe things will change then. We haven’t even been mentioned on the news at all and, according to that caller, are not getting any ice or food.
