Update from Administrator – November 17, 2020
Dear Residents/ Families/ Responsible Parties,
I hope this letter finds you well. Beacon Brook Health Center currently has 14 residents and 10 staff members with Covid 19. We continue to test residents and staff weekly according to DPH and CDC requirements. Social distance guidelines, handwashing protocols, hygiene recommendations, and wearing masks in our center – are still STRONGLY enforced. I want to reiterate that this pandemic is still active and the state of Connecticut is reporting an uptick in new cases of COVID and, as we see in the news, some states continue to surge with new cases.
Please know that outside and “alternative” visitations will continue. While the weather is changing, we will work to continue to do outside visits on our patio for as long as possible and window visits are still possible. Residents will still receive individual visits for socialization and have individual activities offered to them. Remember that we do offer iPads for our residents to use for video visits, phone calls, etc. to ensure that you and your loved one remain in contact, as best as you can during these very uncertain times.
Thank you,
Melissa Vivo, Administrator
