The Apartments (Pavilion, Terrace West, Terrace East, Primrose Gardens)
NEW RESIDENTS ON ISOLATION = 18
TOTAL NUMBER OF RESIDENTS ON ISOLATION: T = 18
NEW APARTMENT RESIDENTS COVID-POSITIVE = 0
NUMBER OF APARTMENT RESIDENTS COVID POSITIVE = 0
BY BUILDING:
TERRACE EAST (Assisted Living) = 1 resident on isolation
PAVILION (Independent Living) = 3 residents on isolation
TERRACE WEST (Independent Living) = 9 residents on isolation
PRIMROSE GARDENS (Independent Living) = 5 residents on isolation
Residents on isolation have an isolation cart outside their apartment door. It contains Personal Protective Equipment (sanitized) and directions on usage. Residents may be on 14-day isolation for one of these reasons:
-
COVID-positive exposure
-
Return from acute care hospital
-
They are COVID positive
Residents are on isolation because they pose a risk to others to transmit COVID-19 if they are not isolated for 14 days. The presence of an isolation cart does not indicate that the resident is COVID-positive.
If your loved one has an isolation cart at their apartment suite, you must wear FULL Personal Protective Equipment to enter the suite and be with them.
This includes:
Goggles, Surgical mask, Gown
Instructions for use are located at the isolation cart. Don the gear (put it on) before you enter the suite. Doff (take it off) and dispose at exit.
