Dear Residents & Families,
Thank you for your continued support as we work to keep your loved ones safe.
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 actively monitoring illnesses and consulting with the Department of Health if we observe individuals with symptoms or circumstances which match those related to COVID-19. We are accepting no in-person visits at this time. Move-ins are being welcomed with safety protocols in place, including quarantine. We continue to implement best practices for cleaning and sanitizing.
COMMUNITY UPDATE
- Restaurants can operate outdoor service at 50% capacity; inside service at 25% capacity
- Non-essential retail can operate at 15% capacity and are encouraged to limit customer interactions to 30 minutes
- Barber shops, hairstylists, tattoo artists, etc. can operate at 25% capacity
Under the plan, “high-risk populations” which include residents of long-term care facilities can “resume public interactions with physical distancing” under Phase 4. Kitsap County is in Phase 2.
Also last Friday, Bainbridge Senior Living sent a separate communication to Madrona House families with details regarding consent, timing, and implementation of a recent order from the Secretary of Health which requires assisted living facilities with memory care units to offer free COVID-19 tests to all consenting (i.e. through their healthcare POA) memory care residents and staff by June 26
th
. We have scheduled a Zoom Q&A for Thursday, June 11
th
at 11:30 PST to discuss our plans. That invite will be sent to Madrona House families on Wednesday (June 10
th
).
