Important Coronavirus Information

COVID-19 Update:

Cerenity Senior Care is providing coronavirus testing as required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and as needed for residents, tenants and employees with symptoms. Testing enables us to better protect our residents and staff by identifying those who may be positive, but are not having any symptoms. Once identified, we can implement additional infection control measures quickly to better care for those who may be infected. We will update our hotline if our testing identifies any new positive results.

We will continue to closely monitor all residents and employees for signs or symptoms of the virus. We remain in communication with our state and local health officials to ensure we are implementing all appropriate measures.

Visitation

Visitors are welcome on our campuses. Be aware that there may be a risk for becoming infected by COVID-19 when there are active cases in the building.

For the health and safety of all, visitors are asked to follow these infection control measures:

Wash hands regularly, wear a face covering when asked, and physically distancing at least six feet from other residents and staff.
Visitors who have had a positive viral test for COVID-19 or have symptoms of COVID-19, or who currently meet the criteria for quarantine, should not enter the facility.
Enjoy your visit in the resident’s room (if private) or in a common space where physical distancing can be followed.
If our county’s COVID-19 community level of transmission is substantial to high, all residents and visitors, regardless of vaccination status, should wear face coverings or masks and physically distance at all times. You can check out our County’s COVID-19 transmission rate at www.covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view.
While CMS does not recommend visitation when a resident is actively infected with COVID-19 or in quarantine, residents may still choose to have visitors. The Core Principles of Infection Control need to be followed.

You can further help protect our residents and staff. Consider taking an over-the-counter COVID-19 test prior to visiting. This strategy helps to keep those who are ill from carrying COVID-19 into our building to our residents and staff.

Protect yourself and the ones you love with the COVID-19 vaccine!

Getting vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19 is one of the best ways to protect yourself and everyone around you, particularly those who are at increased risk for severe illness. If you are unvaccinated and are interested in vaccination, the COVID-19 vaccine is free, safe and readily available. Not sure where? Check out www.vaccines.gov, text your zip code to 438829, or call 1-800-232-0233 to find a location near you. Still have questions?

Infection Control Measures:

Infection Control Measures:

Since March 2020, we have followed all recommended guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Centers Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and our state and local health departments. We have implemented enhanced infection control measures, including extra efforts to clean and disinfect all high-touch areas throughout the building and the following measures:

For all Residents:

Monitor and screen all residents daily for symptoms of illness.
Provide a face mask for residents to wear.

For COVID-19 Positive Residents:

Residents are isolated and employees designated to provide care for them. Their condition is closely monitored. Their family or responsible party and their physician are notified.

For Employees:

Employees who are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms are requested to obtain a COVID-19 test before beginning their shift. Employees are not allowed in the building if they are ill.
Employees wear personal protective equipment as required by state and federal guidance.

As we continue navigate this challenge, we are especially grateful for our dedicated caregivers, who are working tirelessly to ensure a clean, safe environment for all who live and work here.
