For 40 years, Our Communities Have Been Founded On Providing The Absolute Best Care For Our Residents.
Without their trust in us, we wouldn’t be here today, and we are extremely grateful for the opportunity to serve them and create truly personalized experiences every single day. We are exercising an abundance of caution and doing everything in our control to prevent COVID-19 (Coronavirus) from impacting our communities. Our established protocols are in line with those recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and all other national, state, and local governing bodies, as well as local health officials.
We understand times like this can feel unsettling. We want all of our residents, families and employees to know that we are in this together, and that we are fully prepared to navigate this ever-changing situation.
A Message From Our Residents
Residents and Families,
The health and safety of our residents and their families is our top priority — now and always.
That’s why, throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve continued to update our community rules, regulations and protocols as needed. Recently, we’ve integrated changes based on updated guidelines from the CDC and, first, in accordance with local and state requirements.
Visitors across all our communities are asked to complete a COVID-19 self-screening assessment prior to entering. Additionally, visitors are encouraged to follow the CDC’s core principles for infection control, community masking rules and any local or state authority requirements.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we continue to evolve with COVID-19. If you have any questions about our COVID-19 protocols, please reach out.
