September 2023 Update
Family,
Wow! What an August! Hurricane and COVID worrying me to death! As we are rolling into September, we are still vigilant with our infection control and nursing our Residents with COVID. The residents that have been positive are fairing very well. They are just experiencing tiredness. Families are welcome to visit the positive cases if you like. I am not keeping anyone away from family! I ask that you visit, use hand sanitizer, and leave the facility immediately after you leave the apartment.
I need you all to be thinking about a few things. There is an RSV vaccine that will be available from the pharmacist, and he will come here to administer. Please talk with your doctors and let me know if this is a vaccine you would like for your Resident to have administered. Also, I need to know if you want your Resident to have the new COVID vaccine that is coming out the end of September. Immediately, I need to know if you want your Resident to have the high-dose flu vaccine for seniors. Please call or email your wishes about these vaccines. Ya’ll stay safe. We will keep in touch.
