COVID TESTING
We are excited to share that all team member and resident tests from last Thursday came back negative. We are awaiting the results of Monday’s testing. Quarryville Presbyterian Retirement Community continues to test all team members twice a week until the Lancaster County Positivity Rate falls below 10%. The county positivity rate has decreased in recent weeks. It is currently14.8%.
Visitation in Skilled Nursing and Personal Care is still restricted until the positivity rate drops below 10%. Window visits are available and can be scheduled through the Activities Department. Compassionate care visitation is available for residents that meet certain criteria developed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the Department of Health and Human Services.
COVID Vaccination
The first COVID vaccination clinic for skilled nursing residents and team members is still scheduled for January 18th. Please remember to turn in the consent forms regardless of whether you are accepting or declining the vaccine. We do not yet know when Personal Care or Residential Living will be able to receive the vaccine. Lists of those individuals scheduled to receive the vaccine on Monday, January 18th will be given to department heads. The Vaccination Clinic will be held from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM in the Thompson Meeting Room.
