The Cornerstone Dining Room is Closed for sit down dining. All dining is take out only. There will be no take out or delivery fee during the closure of the Dining Room.

Upper Moreland is closed to all visitation except medical personnel. We implore residents not to leave the WEL Upper Moreland campus at this time. The only trips should be for medical necessity. We have seen the effects of COVID 19 within our community and the community at large and we do not want you to expose yourself unnecessarily.

We are continuing with the residents of Personal Care being quarantined to the floor of their room and their individual rooms. We have no new positive cases for residents or staff in personal care. We will be conducting another testing of PC residents this week.

We have our second dose vaccination clinic on Friday February 12th for those who received the vaccine on January 22nd. Any staff wishing to receive the vaccine who missed the first clinic please contact your manager or HR to complete the consent form.

IL resident vaccination clinic is scheduled for Tuesday February 16th. Please see the front desk to submit your consent forms. Families, please encourage your IL resident to complete the consent form for vaccinations.

Thank you for your ongoing patience. Please watch for updates.
