Update from Administrator – July 2, 2020
Happy Fourth of July!
Visiting your loved one
In addition to ongoing virtual and window visits, we have begun to offer outdoor visits for our recovered residents and their families. Check out the attached photo of our visiting area. These visits require appropriate PPE (masks) to be worn at all times and a social distance of 6 feet between you and your loved ones for the entirety of the visit. The specific guidelines and details regarding perimeter visits can be found on our website and Facebook page.
Please remember that the perimeter visits must be pre-scheduled to ensure safe and healthy visits for you, the residents, and our staff. You can schedule a visit by emailing us at info@northbridgehcc.com.
As you know from our communications, managing this pandemic has been very challenging but we continue to focus on our residents and their well-being. We are happy to report that we currently only have 20 positive residents in house. We have no employees out sick with Covid. We have had 114 residents recover from Covid. Check our Facebook page to see updated pictures of our recent graduates- It is truly uplifting for our staff and residents.
Staff Testing
We have been able to secure a contract with a vendor through the state and our testing will begin 7/9/2020 and will take place regularly. The vendor has informed us that they can test as 100 staff members at time and will have results back to us in 24 hours. I will continue to keep you updated as the plan unfolds and test results become available.
Thank you and please stay safe and healthy! Although the weather outside is becoming warmer and sunnier each day, it is important to remember that it is still necessary to be cautious and aware that the risks of COVID-19 are still present.
