We are actively monitoring for symptoms or circumstances which match those related to COVID-19. Move-ins are being welcomed with safety protocols in place, including quarantine. We are accepting no in-person visits at this time.
COMMUNITY UPDATE
Yesterday, June 16
th
, Governor Jay Inslee announced the extension of
proclamation 20-45
, related to protection orders and personal service, until July 1st. Inslee reaffirmed that a State of Emergency continues to exist in all counties of Washington state.
Coronavirus infections
are on the rise throughout Washington state
, with particularly large increases in Yakima, Benton, Spokane and Franklin counties. Public health experts agree that the true number of people who have been infected with COVID-19 in Washington “greatly exceeds” the number of COVID-19 infections that have been laboratory-confirmed. It is very difficult to know exactly how many people in Washington have been infected to date since, according to the Department of Health, most people with COVID-19 experience mild illness and the ability to get tested is still not widely available.
Kitsap County remains in Phase 2 of Washington state’s
Safe Start plan
. As we look ahead to Phase 3, Bainbridge Senior Living will continue to operate on guidance from federal & state directives, the CDC, our local health departments, as well as the direction of state licensing agencies. Our internal COVID Response Team expects we’ll be able to introduce outdoor patio visits under controlled circumstances as we enter Phase 3. Please note, our internal reopening phases will not be associated with calendar dates and may be introduced differently across our communities.
