Emerald Heights Coronavirus Updates October 21, 2021 October 21, 2021: We are sorry to report that during routine testing the week of October 18th, a fully vaccinated, asymptomatic employee working in Corwin Center Assisted Living tested positive for COVID-19. The employee was immediately sent home to quarantine for a 10-day period. All residents and staff in assisted living were also tested immediately, with all results negative. However, following new procedures received from the Department of Health and our Local Health Jurisdiction, all Corwin Center Assisted Living residents are required to quarantine through Sunday, October 24th. On Sunday, October 24th, we will retest all residents in Assisted Living, and if all tests results are negative, that quarantine will be lifted. With this one positive test result however, in addition to this immediate quarantine, all group activities, in person visits, and group dining are also required to be suspended until November 1st. Exceptions for in-person visits are allowed for Essential Support Persons or Compassionate Care visits, which must be pre-approved and scheduled. Corwin Center staff will be working with residents, family and friends to schedule video calls and window visits until the restriction for in-person visits is lifted. For the health and wellbeing of our visitors, staff, and residents, the following interventions remain in place at Emerald Heights: Masks, effectively covering ones nose and mouth, are required in all common areas for all staff, residents, visitors, and vendors – regardless of vaccination status. Non-residents will not be allowed to dine in the dining rooms of Emerald Heights or the Coffee Shop. Visitors and guests will not be allowed to use the Fitness Center or Pool Employees, vendors, and visitors will continue to be screened with Washington Department of Health recommended health questions and temperatures at the front entry. Employees, vendors, and visitors who do not pass the screening questions are not being allowed on campus. Indoor and outdoor amenity spaces are open to residents and their guests. All riders and staff must wear masks while utilizing Emerald Height’s transportation services. Corwin Center skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care are following the guidance of the Governor’s Safe Start for LTC Plan with the addition of the restrictions noted above for assisted living.

Earlier this summer Governor Inslee mandated all Washington long term care workers be vaccinated and on August 18th the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, in collaboration with the CDC, announced something similar for all Medicare and Medicaid participating nursing homes across the country. On-site vaccination clinics have been completed for residents and staff receiving the Pfizer vaccine. Residents and staff are urged to follow the recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html for prevention of any viral respiratory illness, including frequent hand washing, practice of good cough etiquette, advising those exhibiting any symptoms of the virus, or in direct contact with those exhibiting symptoms (sore throat, cough, fever) to remain at home until symptom free for 72 hours. Thank you for your support and understanding as we work diligently to ensure the safety, health and wellbeing of residents and staff.
