We gave out 3,000 food boxes today, cars were lined up around the block waiting.  It was amazing.

Nursing homes getting hit hard, nationally.  Fed gov't isn't tracking those deaths, as per MSNBC (so take with a grain of salt).
.
I guess it's better to be in Phoenix during this than the Navajo Rez....their cases are booming up there, and it's SO sparsely populated.  I'm about to go pick up a pizza, and the place probably serves 2-3 city blocks, at the most.  If I went to the grocery store where I had lived on the Rez, it would have served everyone in a 1600 square mile section.  I think that matters.
3,400 cases in Phx is FARRRRR fewer than 340 cases on the Navajo Nation.

Fortunately, my grandmother's assisted living facility hasn't been affected as far as my parents know. However, she has dementia and depression, which is not a good combination in the first place and especially being quarantined to her apartment, but there aren't any good alternatives, of course.

From what i've read/heard old folks homes have long been a money maker for the owners.While a nursing staff is kept practically on retainer,many of the aides and assistants are low paid for bleak and difficult assignments.Very high turnover rates

I would imagine many "old folks homes" are for profit operations, so they generally should "make money for owners".

Some may pay more to attract and retain better workers, which as a model, might be preferable to the alternative.

The deaths from the old folks' home in Seattle are certainly being counted.  It's hit a couple so far in Texas and they're being counted.  I don't believe there's any intentional reason they might not be counted, though I'm certain there's a lot of confusion and chaos at ANY place that's been hit hard and so reporting from those places could be erratic and incorrect.

This sounds odd to me.  Why would they not be reported?
It's my understanding they're  not being admitted into hospitals, but being kept where they are.  Maybe that has something to do with it?

The cases are being reported in local news and such, but not counted by the gov't in its official numbers, perhaps for the reason above.
