I hope you’re doing well and are able to enjoy this mild spring weather we’re experiencing.

We are excited that our staff have been willing to become vaccinated for COVID-19 to promote patient safety in the Center. We continue to promote and encourage staff and patient vaccination and hope this is encouraging to you.

As previously reported, we are now able to provide COVID-19 vaccination on an on-going basis to staff and patients. We will be receiving doses of vaccine from our pharmacy partner.  We will not be receiving the vaccine that is manufactured by Johnson & Johnson while it is being studied further by the FDA. It is our hope that making the vaccine available on-site will encourage continued vaccination participation among our patients and staff.

County Positivity Rate:  Increased to 5.3%.
Testing Frequency for Staff and Patients: Staff and patients are tested every 3-7 days while in an outbreak until the Center is 14 days without a positive test result.  
PPE: The supply remains adequate. Staff receive ongoing education on appropriate PPE utilization.
Visitation: Virtual and scheduled indoor and outdoor visitation are currently available. To schedule a visit, click this link: https://chasecity-rehab.com/patient-visitation/.

As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Robin Parrott, LNHA
