As per our visitation requirements, select Presbyterian Senior Living CCRCs are beginning to reopen for visitors. Paid private duty health care providers are permitted to enter, but must undergo a screening process before entering any area of the community.
Residents are highly discouraged from leaving the community. By leaving the community, you may be potentially exposing yourself and your neighbors, and could inadvertently introduce a threat to the entire community.
Community dining rooms are reopening at some communities with social distancing and health precautions in place. Information regarding meals will be provided by the community directly to residents. Laundry rooms are open, and residents must practice social distancing when using these spaces.
Additional restrictions and schedule changes will be shared at the individual community level.
We know this is a time that instills uncertainty and at times fear, but we want you to know we are here for you. We will continue to collectively work together to deliver services differently for a while. Thank you for being patient with us and for understanding while continue to work to protect the health and well-being of all Presbyterian Senior Living residents. We will get through this together.
Have questions or need additional information? Let us know.
With all of the changes, we feel that it is important for residents to remain actively engaged, even if their normal routine is disrupted. The Presbyterian Senior Living blog will be used to highlight some activities that can be enjoyed from the comfort of your home!
