Update from Administrator – July 9, 2020
As always, our team and I hope this email finds you safe and healthy.
From the beginning of this crisis, we have implemented extensive infection control measures to protect residents. I have listed those in many past weekly emails, our bi-weekly “Town Hall” Zoom meetings, and this information remains on our website.
We are happy to report that we remain COVID free! As mentioned on our last Town Hall call, we conducted another round of resident testing and all test results returned negative.
We have begun testing all staff for another “baseline” and are scheduled to have that completed no later than July 19th.
Each nursing unit has tablets assigned for resident use such as virtual visits, games, news, etc. We have fresh air time where residents can get some much needed sunshine while supervised to ensure social distancing.
Please continue to use our special email address Info@marlboroughhillsrhcc.com to request virtual visits, outdoor social distancing visits, or ask questions.
Guidelines
–All visits must be scheduled in advance and will take place adjacent to the Main Entrance within the designated area.
–The visitor must have their temperature taken and answer simple questions prior to the resident coming out for the visit.
—The resident and their visitor(s) must always wear a facial mask.
–Social distancing must be maintained throughout the entire visit. This means that the resident and their visitor(s) must always be at least six (6) feet apart.
–Person to person contact between the resident and visitor(s) is prohibited.
–No items may be transferred between visitor(s), residents and staff.
–The visits will be for a maximum of thirty (30) minutes.
–The maximum number of visitors allowed at one time is two (2).
–Visits will only be scheduled before sundown.
–A facility staff member will be required to remain with the resident and visitor(s) at all times
To schedule an outdoor social distancing visit, you can email Info@marlboroughhillsrhcc.com or call us at 508.485.4040 and the receptionist can see what times are available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
Our next “Town Hall” meeting is scheduled Thursday, 7/16 at 4:00pm and we will discuss more detailed information on center updates.
