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 11.8%.
Testing Frequency for Staff and Patients:  Staff are tested twice weekly based on the county positivity rate. Patients are tested as needed due to exposure or symptoms.
PPE: The supply remains adequate. Staff receive ongoing education on appropriate PPE utilization.
Visitation: Scheduled virtual, indoor and outdoor visitation are currently available. To schedule a visit, click this link: https://carriagehill-rehab.com/patient-visitations/.
*Previous cumulative data on COVID-19 may be found on the Center’s website: https://carriagehill-rehab.com/.

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

Sincerely,
Osman “Ozzie” Lambiro, LNHA
