Update from Administrator – January 26, 2021
January 26, 2020
Dear Families,
As always, we hope this letter finds you safe and healthy as we begin the New Year!
Our current CVOID status is one positive, new admission.
We are very excited that our residents and staff have had now had the opportunity to receive their initial and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine from CVS here at our center. Any resident and staff member who did not participate in the first round, but did during the second visit, will have the opportunity to receive their second dose of the vaccine on our third date, 02/07/2021.
With the first round complete in most nursing homes and the second doses in many, the state has already reported a decrease in nursing home cases of CVOID among residents and staff, further proof that the vaccine works and we’re doing our part to eliminate COVID!
We have encouraged as many residents as possible to get this vaccine. As we have learned, the elderly and those with significant health concerns have a much higher risk for getting very sick, being hospitalized, or succumbing from COVID-19. The vaccine has been shown to provide a great deal of protection against serious illness due to COVID-19.
As you know by now, this vaccine has gone through testing and clinical trials to ensure it meets the highest safety standards. It also is safe and recommended if you already had the virus. The health and safety of our residents is always our top priority, and we are confident this vaccine is a much better option than the risk of getting this virus.
We are moving our family call to Thursdays at 2pm.
If you have any questions, please contact a member of management, Tracy the Director of Recreation, Caprice our Director of Nursing or Katie Lee our interim Administrator 860.489.1008, with any questions. We can provide you with up to date, independent research, and links to various educational websites.
Thank you,
Katie Lee
Administrator
