I hope the nursing home takes proper remedial measures very quickly. I was just reading about one in Tennessee and I could tell from interviews with the management that they had been in denial about how the disease spreads.

It could be these care homes will need staff to shelter within the home to prevent bringing it in.

One thought: If they would allow it, you might consider shipping a small HEPA air filtration unit to be put in your mom's room to help clean the air in her space. Does not prevent contact spread but might help her odds of not getting it from the environment.
