It was the morning of the fierce nor'easter snow storm, but Eleanor Macklin, a dietary aide at NCC's Extended Care Center in Newark, knew she had to be in place by 6 o'clock to prepare breakfast for the nursing home residents. "I got up early, around 4 a.m., and looked outside.My car was snowed in so I knew I would have to call for transportation," she said.
Ali Jenkins, the transportation supervisor at Extended Care, had already dug his own car out of the snow. He now headed to the nursing home to dig out the Adult Medical Day Care van he would use to pick up Macklin and others who were stranded at home, like nursing home administrator Betty Lawson and activities director Elizabeth Brookins. Snow closed the Adult Medical Day Care program for two straight days.
