Dear Wyatt Family,
I want to start out by saying thank you to each and every one of you! I feel very fortunate to be part of such a wonderful team. These past few weeks have been full of challenges, triumphs and adapting to the new norm.
Here are some highlights:
*We continue to be virus free. The overall morale of the building remains high. Although activities are limited at this time; our staff has come together to create wonderful social distancing activities. We have continued to use the dining room for the majority of the activities since it accommodates the new 6 ft. rule. We have done bowling, corn hole, basketball, many arts and crafts, and even a live stream of the Seattle Symphony. We’re also doing many one-on-ones, for instance, going for walks around the facility on nice days. This week we are working towards ironing out a more consistent schedule for exercise and activities.
*We’re still accepting supply drop offs in the front foyer. We sanitize everything before bringing it in. If no one is readily available, please attach a little note as to who it should belong to.
*It has been amazing to see the community of Bainbridge Island come together during this time. The Boys and Girls Club will be creating individual cards for our residents. They will be going through a “quarantine” process before being given to our residents. This may take up to a week but is in progress. Island Volunteers call and speak to residents on a weekly basis. If they are unable to reach them, they then reach out to the staff as a follow up. The Kitsap Emergency Response team checks weekly with us to see if there are any supplies we need. Lastly, our family members! WOW! You all have been abundantly wonderful checking to see if we have any needs. Many of you have Offered to run errands or pick up supplies as well as pulling groups together to hand sew beautiful face masks for our staff. Thank you, thank you!
Thank you all for being so understanding during this time. It appears I cannot say thank you enough! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. Stay healthy, and know that we miss your visits too!
