Dear Residents & Families,
Thanks for supporting our efforts. We’re doing everything we can to protect your loved ones and our staff during this pandemic. We trust that you’ve found these updates useful. We also want to be mindful of overfilling your inboxes at a time when we’re all likely spending more time online than we’d prefer. Beginning the week of Labor Day (Monday, September 7th), we plan to send these community updates out to families and residents once a week on Wednesdays.
COVID-19 TESTING
As of today, we have no positive cases of COVID-19 in our Bainbridge Senior Living communities. We continue to actively monitor for symptoms or circumstances which match those related to the novel coronavirus. We are welcoming move-ins with safety protocols in place.
Universal testing through Washington state will be conducted for staff and consenting residents at Madison House & Wyatt House next week. Click here for background details.
COMMUNITY UPDATE
Dr. Gib Morrow, Health Officer for the Kitsap Public Health District, released a message for all of us looking forward to this long holiday weekend. He notes that Memorial Day, Father’s Day, and Fourth of July gatherings all contributed to spikes in COVID-19 cases. With more than 60 active cases in Kitsap right now, it’s important that we all do our part to protect each other and keep the trend to beat this virus going in the right direction.
As Dr. Morrow puts it:
“We hope you celebrate this Labor Day, but celebrate safely.”
Mask up. Clean up. Wash up. And Read up.
