Read the latest Covid 19 update.
December 16, 2024
Dear Residents, Responsible Parties, Family Members and Staff,
As a follow up to our last Covid-19 update, we have additional positive cases to report. Two additional residents have tested positive since that update along with multiple staff members. Per infection control guidelines, these residents are on isolation and will receive proper care while being closely monitored. The staff members will be off of the schedule for at least seven days and will return when they have tested negative. Resident testing that was completed today did not result in any new cases. We are hopeful that this is the start of a good trend. Testing will continue throughout this week on residents and staff in an effort to further prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Our staff will continue to provide masks and for those that have been fit tested, it is our recommendation that N-95 masks be worn inside the building. Regardless, masks are located at our main security desk in the lobby for visitors as well as staff. They are also on each unit for residents and staff. For residents who travel outside of their rooms, masks should be worn in the hallways and dayrooms. Hand sanitizer is located in many areas in the building, please use it frequently while at the center. Social distancing is recommended when possible. We also ask that all staff assist with sanitizing high touch surfaces.
We will also share again, that the best defense against any virus is vaccination. Covid-19 vaccinations are available at several locations nearby including Walgreens, Weis, Safeway and ShopRite pharmacies, CVS and Rite Aid. We encourage everyone to have their Covid-19 vaccination status updated as soon as possible, in addition to other vaccines such as Influenza, RSV and Shingles.
We will continue to keep our precautions and guidelines in place. If you have any questions about masks, testing, infection prevention or vaccines, please do not hesitate to reach out to our staff. We will be glad to assist you as we need everyone’s cooperation in keeping our residents and staff as safe as possible.
Sincerely,
Ed Walter,
Administrator
