Salmonella sickened eight people at Homewood at Crumland Farms nursing home in Frederick, Maryland over the past four months.

The News-Post reports one person died after being hospitalized for salmonella, although Homewood’s executive director, Eric Nichols, said the death was from other complications.

Darlene Armacost, communicable disease program manager for the Frederick County Health Department said,

"The last onset of a case was in early November. We are still monitoring the situation."

Health department officials have inspected Homewood repeatedly, Armacost said. The entire Environmental Health Services branch of the department, the section that inspects restaurants, has visited the kitchen many times, she said.

Nichols said the kitchen was found to be very clean in all inspections.
