Dear Residents & Families,
Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep your loved ones safe. We can’t let down our guard.
COVID-19 TESTING
As of today, we have no positive or suspected cases of COVID-19 in our Bainbridge Senior Living communities.
Our staff is continuing to implement best practices to detect and slow the spread of the virus. We are actively monitoring illnesses and consulting with the department of health if we observe individuals with symptoms or circumstances that seem to match those related to COVID-19.
STAFF
A special shout out to housekeepers Heather and Rose Mary at the Madison House. Going above and beyond CDC guidelines for sanitizing gives a new meaning to spring cleaning.
ADMISSION / READMISSION PROTOCOLS
At this time, Bainbridge Senior Living is currently accepting admissions to our houses with a provided negative COVID-19 test. Upon arrival, we have a screening process in place where we’ll consult with their physician and may also ask that those residents remain in their rooms for 14 days to prevent potential community transmission. For existing residents, the CDC is recommending rescheduling non-urgent hospital or clinic admissions in order to preserve personal protective equipment (PPE) and ensure resident safety. However, we understand that hospital visits are sometimes unavoidable. After such visits, we’ll be testing these residents, consulting with their physician, and may ask that those residents remain in their rooms for 14 days as well. Thanks for your understanding.
VISITS
Last month, using his emergency powers, Gov. Jay Inslee announced visitation restrictions for assisted living facilities. Inslee said that perhaps the most important way to fight the outbreak is “to protect our aged adults.” We understand that family members would like to visit at this time, but until the Governor’s order is lifted and for the safety of our residents and staff, we are unable to allow this -- even for outdoor visits on our grounds. FaceTime, Skype or Zoom calls with your loved ones are encouraged, and we welcome you to reach out to us anytime to assist in setting this up.
With Gratitude,
Morgan Rohrbach
President and CEO
PS - I’m always available for the Bainbridge Senior Living family. If you have questions for a specific community, also feel free to reach out to the appropriate Executive Director.
