As recommended by Schenectady County Public Health, testing for COVID-19 will begin this week. Physicians' orders are required for the testing of residents and as those orders are received, on-site testing by Kate Giemza, RN, Ingersoll's Resident Care Director, will be conducted. It was also recommended by the county that two to three rounds of testing be carried out during the quarantine period in an effort to identify asymptomatic individuals and help reduce further transmission of the virus. Employees are also being tested during this period of time.
Please note: As each resident's results are received, whether the results are negative or positive, the designated family member or other resident representative will be notified by Kate or Amber Zoller, Assistant Case Manager.
If you have any questions, please contact Kate or Amber at 518-370-4419.
