Dear Family and Friends of South Cove Manor,
For the foreseeable future, we will be testing 30% of our staff members, every two weeks. If any of those tests come back positive, we will then be required to test 90% of our staff members every week, until we have 2 consecutive weeks without any additional positive tests. Obviously,
if there are any positive cases, we will be in contact with all family members immediately to let you all know the steps we are taking to deal with the situation.
Since my last e-mail to all of you, South Cove Manor has conducted its first bi-weekly surveillance testing of our staff members, and I am please to say that ALL of the test samples have come back with negative test results. Because of that, we will again be offering in-person visitation, using the same parameters we had previously. The visitations will begin on Thursday, August 6
th. Our Activities staff members will be in touch with you shortly to discuss your scheduled visits.
In addition, we will once again be allowing communal dining for our residents, with 6-foot distancing between all. Outside medical personnel will also be allowed to return to the building – all will be screened just as our internal staff are, and all will be required to wear appropriate PPE as our staff do.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions that you might have.
Thank you again for placing your trust in South Cove Manor.
