As a result, we have an adequate supply of personal protective equipment (“PPE”). All employees are always required to wear the applicable equipment. We currently have no positive cases of coronavirus in the facility. Residents are monitored closely and tested as deemed appropriate. All vaccinated staff are tested weekly at this time and unvaccinated staff are tested twice per week. If employees test positive, a negative test result is required before they can return to work. Essential contractors, vendors and service providers are permitted on a limited basis and in limited areas after thorough screening. We screen employees, contractors, and vendors before they can enter the building to work. Those permitted entry are screened with a series of questions about possible exposure to, or symptoms of, COVID-19. We also check them for signs of fever. Anyone who fails any portion of the screening is denied entry. Unless we contact our residents and their families, we have no reason to believe they have been exposed to the virus. We will immediately notify a resident, their family, and our employees of any possible exposure to COVID when we become aware of it. The King’s Daughters and Sons Home is governed by CDC and CMS guidelines for nursing homes and long-term care facilities so we will continue to follow their directives when it comes to masks, social distancing, and other preventative measures. While adhering to the core principles of COVID-19 infection prevention, communal activities and dining may occur. The CDC has provided additional guidance on activities and dining based on resident vaccination status. For example, residents who are fully vaccinated may dine and participate in activities without face coverings or social distancing if all participating residents are fully vaccinated; if unvaccinated residents are present during communal dining or activities, then all residents should use face coverings when not eating and unvaccinated residents should physically distance from others. We are slowly but surely inching our way to being able to reopen our doors so please, if you have not done so already, consider getting the vaccine and encouraging your friends, family, and neighbors to follow suit. CMS has issued an emergency regulation in relation to the requirement of COVID-19 vaccination of eligible staff at health care facilities that participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. All eligible staff must receive the first dose to a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine or a one-dose COVID-19 vaccine prior to providing any care, treatment, or other services by December 5, 2021. All eligible staff must receive the necessary shots to be fully vaccinated by January 4, 2022. We continue to offer limited visitation for residents. Visitation is allowed for all residents (regardless of vaccination status), except for a few circumstances when visitation should be limited due to a high risk of COVID-19 transmission. These scenarios include limiting indoor visitation for: unvaccinated residents, if the nursing home’s COVID-19 county positivity rate is >10% and <70% of residents in the facility are fully vaccinated; residents with confirmed COVID-19 infection, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated until they have met the 2 criteria to discontinue Transmission-Based Precautions; or residents in quarantine, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, until they have met criteria for release from quarantine. Since we do have to limit the number of visitors per resident at one time, and the total number of visitors in the facility at one time, we must continue to have set visitation hours. Visitors must be screened and must follow all infection control practices and protocols as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and federal, state, and local health and governmental agencies. When a new case of COVID-19 among residents or staff is identified, we must immediately begin outbreak testing and suspend all visitation until at least one round of facility-wide testing is completed. Visitation can resume based on the following criteria: If the first round of outbreak testing reveals no additional COVID-19 cases in other areas (e.g., units) of the facility, then visitation can resume for residents in areas/units with no COVID-19 cases. However, we must suspend visitation on the affected unit until we meet the criteria to discontinue outbreak testing. We do continue to offer virtual visits that may be coordinated with the staff, as well as window visits. We will continue to follow changes to regulations and guidelines issued by the CDC, CMS, the Tennessee and Shelby County Departments of Health and other health and governmental organizations. New regulations will be implemented immediately. Ready to learn more? Call Us 3568 Appling Road Bartlett, TN 38133 901-272-7405 Copyright © 2020 The King's Daughters and Sons Home.
