Dear Residents & Families,
Thank you. We appreciate your support while we work hard to keep your loved ones as safe as possible.
COVID-19 TESTING
As of today, we have no positive cases of COVID-19 in our Bainbridge Senior Living communities. We are actively monitoring for symptoms or circumstances which match those related to COVID-19. Move-ins are welcome with safety protocols in place.
COMMUNITY UPDATE
Coronavirus cases worldwide hit 20 million, with more than half of them from just three countries: the U.S., India and Brazil. It took six months for the world to reach 10 million confirmed cases of the coronavirus. It took just over six weeks for that number to double.
Last week, Gov. Jay Inslee announced new phases for long-term care facilities. In order to move forward in these phases a facility must go 28 days without staff or residents testing positive for COVID-19, have a 14-day supply of PPE, and be in a county that has advanced to at least that phase in the Safe Start plan. Bainbridge Senior Living communities currently meet the first two criteria; however, Kitsap County remains in Phase 2 of the state plan.
The phased approach for long-term care facilities goes into effect tomorrow (August 12th). Bainbridge Senior Living treats the health and safety of our staff and residents as our paramount responsibility. As we navigate through the Safe Start and associated Long-Term Care phases, we will continue to examine protocols at each of our communities to ensure that safety always comes first.
Thanks everyone!
