Homestead Health Center HOME COVID-19 Update Affiliations Our Team Services Contact US Resources Careers November 29, 2021 TO: Residents, Families and Friends Well, I promised some good news and here it is……………….. Vaccinated residents will be allowed to go on outings with family members regardless of vaccination status. As with all good news especially regarding the pandemic, it comes with a caveat. This caveat is education to residents and those taking the residents out of the facility. The education references the use of masks, hand sanitizer, and physical distancing. It is presumed residents and family members will ensure the use of masks in settings where physical distancing and/or someone has exhibited signs of illness. Ensuring the use of hand sanitizer while out of the facility. In other words, keeping the resident safe from possible exposure to anyone who may have COVID. Yes, there are risks involved. Believe me, we have scrutinized those risks carefully. However, the well-being of our residents in the aftermath of last year tipped the scales. So, this week’s blog is short and sweet. This begins immediately. As in our pre-COVID days, we request a head’s up before you take a resident out, providing us with an approximate time of departure and return. I pray your Thanksgiving was blessed. As we move into Advent and the celebration of the birth of Jesus, may the remainder of your holiday season see many blessings and miracles. Thank you for your prayers and support for Homestead and our staff. Happy Holidays!!
