(CNN) A group of family members of residents at a nursing home in Kirkland, Washington, want more answers on the conditions of their loved ones, including residents who they claim have died without being tested for the coronavirus.

Seven residents at the Life Care Center have died as a result of coronavirus, according to the King County Health Department, but at least two more residents died recently without knowing whether the virus is responsible, according to the family members at a press conference held outside the nursing home Thursday.

Pat Herrick -- who first expressed concerns to CNN Tuesday about the situation at the nursing home -- says her mother, Elaine, died early Thursday morning after living at Life Care Center for seven years.

Herrick emphasizes the care her mother received from the nursing home workers has been excellent.

"They're also feeling beaten down, I'm sure," she said. But Herrick feels the staff does not have enough resources to deal with the outbreak, especially after she says a Life Care worker called her mid-morning Thursday to say her mother's condition was stable.
