Two employees of the Motion Picture Television Fund senior home died of COVID-19 last month, shortly before vaccines were made available to staff and residents.
Over the course of the pandemic, 119 staffers have been infected, but Alvarado and Castaneda were the first employees to die of it. They were each infected in December, and their deaths came just as the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were being distributed to the home.Bob Beitcher “When you have two staff members who are well known on the campus die from it, that turned quite a few minds,” Beitcher said.Alvarado was a nurse, and had worked at the facility for 19 years. Castaneda was a supply chain coordinator, and had been there for 31 years. Both were in good health before becoming infected, Beitcher said.
“They’re just everyday heroes,” he said. “I feel so proud of them and blessed to have an experience where you get to see this in people.”
