We have been able to allow Gardenside residents to be out of their rooms and have group dining and limited small group activities wearing masks. Staff are currently being tested monthly, and residents are not being routinely tested at this time.
We have administered the second vaccine to all Gardenside residents who were eligible and staff who wanted the vaccine.
Visitation is currently available for indoor and outdoor visits and compassionate care visits. For regular visits you must sign up via
SignUp Genius. We will contact your family if you are eligible for compassionate care visits.
We continue to monitor residents for symptoms. If any are noted, the family and the resident’s physician will be contacted.
JCH&L is currently making vaccines available to Fairbury Clinic patients and Jefferson County residents who are 65 and older or have certain underlying health conditions. We encourage family members to get vaccinated if you are eligible! Call 402-587-5188 and let us know if you are interested in a vaccine. CMS and CDC have recently revised visitation guidelines based on vaccination status. We anticipate continued changes in guidance as more is learned about the effectiveness of vaccines in the elderly population, and as COVID-19 numbers change.
We want families to be informed on vaccinations. See links below to important documents.
