We are taking following precautions to keep COVID-19 out of our home by following measures:

  • Created a COVID-19 wing for new and returning residents into a designated wing that is separate from other residents until testing confirms that there is no COVID-19. This will allow for returning residents to receive care in a safe room and then be moved post-quarantine into their designated rooms. This wing will help ensure the safety of our residents and staff alike during this long expected COVID-19 threat.

  • All visitors and staff undergo screening procedures including temperature checks.

  • Any resident showing COVID-19 symptoms are moved into the COVID-19 wing until test results. 

  • Twice a day all residents receive temperature checks.

  • Ensuring there is adequate PPE for our staff.

  • Ensuring physical distancing measures are respected at all times.

  • New procedures introduced for perfectioned dining experience, exercise groups, activities, etc. for the duration of the COVID-19 Pandemic to ensure residents have access to social interaction, spiritual needs, and physical activities.
