Good Morning Residents, Family Members and Designated Representatives,
Unfortunately, the virus situation in the local community has not significantly improved, and in fact, positive cases are climbing island-wide. More local nursing facilities are seeing significant spikes in cases of COVID-19 and deaths, as well.
As difficult restricting visitation is and has been, especially with the holidays upon us, we have to consider the greater ramifications and realities of this virus. To that end, we have regrettably decided to continue the visitation suspension for another week. We reassess this decision daily and will revise our visitation policy if we feel the situation/risk improves to an acceptable level.
We truly understand the pain and disruption this decision causes. We sincerely thank you for your patience and understanding.
We all look forward to a time, hopefully in the near future, where this pandemic is a mere memory. Until then, we will continue to do everything in our power to ensure the residents of San Simeon are safe and well cared for.
We have window visits available, as well as Facetime and phone visits. Please reach out to Renee Genova, Activities Director to schedule a time. You may contact me at the facility any time with any concerns you may have.
Warmest regards,
Steve Smyth
Administrator
