On April 15, we received the following Covid-19 update from Kendal Management.
We are taking proactive steps forward while continuing to apply what we’ve learned about best infection control practices in managing COVID-19.
• No changes have been made in the past week to room capacities for group gatherings.
• MASK REMINDERS: Vaccinated residents participating in group gatherings/activities – outside of the common use areas – may decide to unmask based on personal comfort level. All residents are reminded that masks are required while in hallways and common areas (i.e., Resident Lounge, Library).
• Tents are up throughout the grounds and on the Terrace.
Tents in the front parking area (outside of the main entrance) are designated primarily for Adirondack residents and their guests for reserved visits. They may be used by others when not reserved.
Tents specifically designated for Sunnyside and Clearwater are set up in their respective garden areas.
The large tent has returned to the Terrace. It is available for use by residents and their visitors. This is a change from last summer when the Terrace was designated only for residents.
• Visitation is open in Clearwater, Sunnyside and Adirondack...reservations are required for visits. Reservations are made by calling x1041. All guests are expected to adhere to the core principles of infection control including masks and social distancing.
• Adirondack residents may eat in the Formal Dining Room (FDR) if invited by an Independent Living resident for dinner. If hosting an Adirondack resident in the FDR, please let the Adirondack staff know by calling x1063 so that the resident can be “signed out” for the visit to the FDR.
