Episode Details

Two senior care homes on New Providence were plunged into chaos during island-wide power outages, leaving over 70 vulnerable elderly residents stranded in the dark and sweltering heat. At Pat’s Senior Home, staff scrambled to move bedridden patients, even placing some on the porch to cool them down — while others suffered accidents or panic attacks. A generator ran out of fuel, and rising diesel costs make planning impossible. Meanwhile, Good Samaritan Home lost ability to monitor vital signs and protect refrigerated meds, prompting plans to buy a backup generator. Both facilities are now facing steep financial burdens and demanding reliable power — as these incidents expose how fragile infrastructure can be for those who need it most.
