Update from Administrator – January 7, 2021
Hope that you all had a Happy and Safe New Year’s Holiday. I think we are all happy to put 2020 behind us. As always, I just want to give you an update on the status of a few important things at Valerie Manor.
We currently have 1 resident and 0 staff members that are Covid positive. With Litchfield County having a positivity rate above 10%, all nursing homes in the county are now testing staff members twice per week. Residents continue to be tested weekly. This will help to identify any resident or staff that has COVID-19, without any symptoms. As always, we will alert you if your loved one tests positive.
The facility is following the guidance for proper cohorting of residents which leads to room changes for our residents. While this is often an inconvenience, it is for the safety and benefit of all residents in the facility.
On Sunday, January 17, 2020 CVS Pharmacy will be holding another Covid 19 Vaccination Clinic in the facility for our residents and staff to receive their first or second dose of the Pfizer vaccines.
Finally, please be reminded to call or email Tracy Hoskins, Director of Recreation and schedule window visit and arrange time for skype/facetime visits with your loved one.
Valerie Manor’s next Town Hall Phone Call will be Friday, January 8, 2020 at 2:00pm.
