We want to start by saying thank you for all of the kind and supportive messages we have received from many of you. We are honored to care for your loved one. These are challenging times, but the sense of community and shared concern we have experienced has been truly heart-warming. Given the ever-changing circumstances around the COVID-19 pandemic, we are constantly evaluating our facility policies and procedures. We are constantly receiving updates from the CDC, Illinois Department of Public Health and local officials to ensure we are up to date with best practices.
Our team is going above and beyond on a daily basis to ensure the safety and comfort of our residents. In this effort the following has been done to minimize the risk of exposure.
- Residents are screened 2x shift
- Staff are screened every 4 hours
- Communal dining has been modified to meet guidelines
- Activities have been adjusted to reduce exposure
- Infection control policies have been implemented
