Gardenside is back in the Green Zone.
What does Green Zone mean? Residents are sharing meals in the dining room, and participating in activities once again. Residents can be out of their rooms (unless they have symptoms and are waiting for a test result.) Although residents are not required to mask when they are out of their rooms, masking is encouraged. Residents are not required to be tested unless they have symptoms.
Staff continue to mask. Vaccinated staff will not be routinely tested. Unvaccinated staff will continue to test twice a week.
Visitors continue to be screened before entering and MUST continue to abide by the strict core principals of infection control: masking, social distancing and good hand hygiene. If they are not able to comply they will be asked to leave. Visitors must also understand there is a risk that they could be exposed to COVID while visiting. Appointments are encouraged through SignUp Genius, but not required.
Gardenside continues to make phone calls, Zoom chats, and other electronic communication available for family members and residents.
As we have since the beginning of the pandemic, Gardenside is working closely with ICAP and DHHS on recommendations and guidelines to keep all residents safe.
If you would like more information on this, contact Laura DeBoer, RN, Director of Nursing, at 402-587–5228.
We want families to be informed on vaccinations. See links below to important documents.
