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. Employees 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.
Covid-19 Vaccine Update
As of Monday, August 2nd, we have mandated that all Miami Jewish Health employees, volunteers, vendor partners, and contractors be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 by October 15th. This includes private duty aides working on our campus. If you have hired a private aide for your loved one, you must make sure they register with us and provide their vaccination status. Please call 305.762.3880 to start that process.
Visitation Update
Over the past month, we have seen a shift in the fight against COVID-19, as the Delta variant has caused a spike in cases and hospitalizations in our County and State. To maintain a safe environment for everyone on our campus, we have implemented additional safety protocols.
All family visits for nursing home residents, with the exception of those residents at end of life, will be paused until further notice.
All family visits for independent and assisted living residents will be held outdoors, and masks are mandatory.
