Dear Residents, Families and Employees: 

COVID:

We continue to be COVID free among all staff and residents in Independent Living, Personal Care and the Health Center.

Unfortunately, the various government agencies that regulate our operations, have not lifted any of the restrictions that they imposed upon us.  Therefore, we must continue to wear masks, and visits continue to be scheduled for personal and health care residents, along with numerous other things.  Independent Living residents must continue to wear masks in common/public areas, as well.

INDEPENDENT LIVING:

Please be aware that we are working on the lock at the P Building door.  The delay is due to a complete change in the security of that door.  We will be removing the key lock from the door and installing a “fob” system for P Building entrance.  You will see staff completing some electrical work that must be done for the installation of the new system.  This system will add an additional layer of security.  Only one “fob” or swipe card will be issued to each P Building resident for use.  IF someone loses their fob, it will require that we deactivate that fob and issue a new one.  No other resident will be affected and it will not require the replacement of the lock and everyone’s key.  These fobs cannot be duplicated or copied. 

If this fob is lost it must be reported immediately so the fob can be deactivated in the system.  The cost of replacing the fob will be $75.00, charged to the resident. 

I recognize how anxious everyone is to begin using that P Building entrance – we are working on this and are equally anxious to get this system installed and operating.

VISITS: 

Please remember to use Sign-Up Genius to register to visit with a resident.  The visitor registration closes approximately 24 hours prior to the date of the visit, so you will not be able to register at the last minute.  Please call the receptionist to confirm that your visit will be allowed.

Please use Sign-Up genius to register for visits.  You must enter the code #8401 when cued to do so.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me directly at the email address slachman@wel.org or by phone. 

Stay well,

Suzanne H. Lachman, LNHA
