Continued Safety Precautions

Due to the positive coronavirus test in Independent Living we are in a state of quarantine. Quarantine means that residents should not leave their apartment unless it is medically necessary or for essential outdoor walking.

As a residential facility and nursing home, Beacon Hill is still under the current Executive Order which restricts visitors until May 31st.

Please remember that staying home, wearing your mask out of your apartment, reducing public exposure, enforced social distancing of 6’ minimum with individuals outside your household, and frequent hand washing are still the best preventive efforts to reduce the risk of COVID in our community, and will help prevent another quarantine. We urge all residents to continue these safe practices, and we need to be mindful of the safety of our friends and neighbors as these restrictions start to be relaxed.
New On Our Blog
As the weather warms and the days grow brighter, the spirituality of your heart may be experiencing a winter hibernation. Zoom fatigue has set in. The novelty of online worship is wearing off. The puzzle is complete, and Netflix has lost its allure. We long for a vibrant and healthy spiritual life, but without bodily involvement, our spirit grows weary.
