These dashboards provide daily and cumulative data on new positive COVID-19 resident and employee cases at our nursing home as well as cases of new respiratory symptoms that occur within 72 hours of each other in employees and residents combined. Parentheses ( ) denote new admissions from local hospitals to our dedicated COVID-19 units. These patients and the employees that care for them will have no contact with any of our residents in other areas of our campus.
If you or your family member is an affected resident you have already been contacted directly by the caregiver. We continue to closely monitor the health of our residents and those with positive test results that have been transferred to local hospitals or our on-campus hospital. Our nursing home units have been reconfigured to provide appropriate isolation areas and proper disinfection. Staff members with symptoms or positive results are being treated in accordance with CDC and DOH guidelines. All employees are screened upon entry daily and required to wear the appropriate level of PPE in accordance with CDC and DOH guidelines.
Data is updated daily by 5:00pm EST.
