We continue to have no residents in any level of care who are currently positive or showing any symptoms.
We have not had any new positives with staff members with this most recent rapid testing.
Today we received the consent forms for the vaccine and we will be calling all families to request you to come in and sign the form for your loved one. CVS has given us a tentative date of Dec 28th for them to be onsite and we will need a signed consent to provide the shot. Expect a call to set up a time for you to come in to sign. We are on a tight timeline and would request that you make yourself available to come in today, tomorrow or Thursday. We will have someone here to assist in completing this important task.

We are working to set up a Zoom call for those who may have some questions to allow for some back and forth discussion of the vaccine itself and the upcoming vaccination event. Please reach out with any questions as they come up, but keep in mind that we are crunched for time right now to get this set up and it is also right in the middle of the holidays, so it may take a bit for us to respond. This is a very exciting next step in our fight against this virus and we are ready to dive in to make this happen and return to some normalcy. This does seem to be a fitting time for our community to receive such a timely gift. Thank you all for your support.
