Preparedness

Because we care. Because we take our responsibilities seriously.

Because our residents are family… We are working continually to sustain a COVID-safe environment. We are complying with the latest recommendations and requirements issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and our local Department of Health. Read further below on our safety measures we are taking now; subject to change pursuant to latest guidelines.

Team Members

• Staying up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations is a condition for employment.
• Our team members are screened for symptoms during their daily check in process.
• A team member who exhibits symptoms leaves our community immediately and resumes working on-premises only when all CDC return-to-work guidelines are met.
• Team members wear masks and practice social distancing if needed.
• Team members are equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE), such as protective face shields, N95 or surgical masks, isolation gowns, and gloves if needed. 
• Team members wash hands and use hand sanitizer routinely throughout their shift.

Residents

• We monitor resident temperatures and oxygen levels throughout the day.
• Residents wear masks when needed. 
• We remind residents to wash and sanitize their hands throughout the day and give assistance, if needed. 
• Our residents have eagerly received the COVID vaccinations. Vaccinations are required for all new residents, as well as a negative COVID test within seven days prior to move in. 

Visitation

• We follow guidelines from the Department of Health and CDC regarding visitation.
• Indoor dining is permitted based on the COVID-19 status of the community.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

• We stock and regularly monitor an inventory of protective masks, face shields, gloves and gowns for use by team members and residents.
