9.17.21 Letter To Families And Friends

09/16/2021                                       

 

       Dear Sinai Residents, Employees, Families, Friends, and Doctors;

 

I hope this letter finds you Healthy & Safe!

To ensure the safety of our residents and employees we are continuing Covid-19 testing of unvaccinated Employees and unvaccinated Residents if they are out in the community & potentially exposed as well as all those that are symptomatic.  We ask that everyone remains vigilant with PPE & mask usage, and we continuously encourage safe social distancing – with the Delta variant and the virus still active we need to be prepared at all times.

 

** We currently have one employee that tested positive for Covid-19 on 9/16/21.  The employee had tested negative earlier this week but worked on the 6th floor unit since then- the 6th floor unit will be placed on quarantine while outbreak testing takes place.  All potentially exposed residents will be tested twice and all employees in the building will e tested as well regardless of their vaccination status. We will ensure to advise if anyone else is found to test positive.

 

Covid-19 Vaccine Clinics at Sinai Post Acute have been taking place continuously since 12/30/2020.

Our pharmacy provider is now providing vaccination clinics that will be made available for new admissions and residents / staff that have not yet received the vaccine every few weeks – Next Scheduled Date is 9/21/21.  We continue to encourage all Residents, Employees and Families to get vaccinated at this time!

 

Any family/friend that would like to arrange for a facetime phone call, outdoor visitation, or any other visitation can contact Ms. Marie Valentine from 8:30am-3:30pm at 973-483-6800 ext 143. Please note all visitation must be scheduled in advance and limited to 20 minutes for outdoor visitation and up to 2 hours for any type of indoor visitation.  In order to keep all of our residents and employees safe we ask that all visitors entering the facility for any indoor visitation that are not fully vaccinated to be tested for covid-19 using the rapid antigen testing before entering the facility – there will be no charge for this testing. All visits may be cancelled if resident or visitor are feeling ill as well as during outbreak testing.
