How Residents and Team Members Can Help

  • Leave the community only for essential needs like groceries or critical medical appointments.
  • Make sure to receive your COVID-19 vaccine if you have not done so already.
  • Practice social distancing.
  • All unvaccinated residents and team members must wear a mask or face covering when interacting with others in public settings. If unvaccinated individuals are present in groups, everyone should be wearing a mask or face covering.
  • Health center residents, team members and visitors must follow our mask protocols when in any of the licensed levels of living (health center, assisted living or memory care).
  • Wash your hands often or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
