Residents and Families,

We are still in a good place here at Stapeley. We have not had a positive case of COVID 19 in the community since June 16.  We continue to utilize our yellow zone for recent admission from the hospital who tested negative there before moving to our Health Care Center.  They will remain in isolation for 14 days and if symptom free after that, they are moved to our green zone. 

I have attached an updated copy of the re-opening plan that includes the visiting process and the relocation of visits to warmer locations.  Staff will be available to assist you through every step of the process.  Please read this document carefully and be prepared to cooperate with all staff in complying with the parameters we have set.

Your continued patience and understanding will be appreciated as continue to explore safe ways to visit.  Please do not hesitate to contact us with your questions or concerns.  You can send also e-mail me at kbeiler@wel.org 

Please take care of yourselves, and I will be in touch again soon.
