There will be no acceptance of “walk-in” patients. The Inn will provide individuals who live in homes where they are at high risk of spreading infection of this highly contagious virus with a safe, secure and fully-staffed location to support necessary medical needs. Most rooms will be for individuals but some rooms may be used by families. Seventy five percent of the costs associated with The Inn’s operation will be covered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), with substantial additional support from MEMA. The remainder will be financed equally by the Cities of Revere and Chelsea. All patients and staff will be provided the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) by MEMA, which will also provide for delivery of three meals a day to all patients. Revere and Chelsea police will provide additional 24-hour security initially, to be continued for as long as is deemed necessary. The Revere Fire Department and Cataldo Ambulance will manage emergency response to the building. Chelsea City Manager Tom Ambrosino said it’s a great collaboration between medical and city personnel. According to Jacqueline Nally, a registered nurse with Massachusetts General Hospital, the 150 patients will only be sent to The Quality Inn via a referral program through local hospitals.
