Update from Administrator – October 27, 2020
Good Afternoon Residents/ Families/ Responsible Parties,
I hope this letter finds you well. Beacon Brook Health Center currently has one staff member with Covid 19. As a new case of COVID has been identified in the facility, all inside visits, except end stage of life, will be temporarily put on hold. As outlined by the CT Department of Public Health and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, we must now wait until we have had 14 days without a new positive case to open visitation indoors to visitors.
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 an option. The weather seems to be holding steady for now.
Remember that we do offer iPads for our residents to use for video visits, phone calls, etc. to ensure that you and your loved ones remain in contact, as best as you can during these very uncertain times.
The beauty shop cannot open as planned due to the positive case. Also, we will be searching for another hairdresser, as we have been notified that one of the former hairdressers have found other work. Due to this, when we do open the beauty shop, we will begin with just haircuts to allow for all residents to get their hair done. Other services will be available once fully staffed. Please bear with us while we search for a qualified candidate to fill this position.
Please send any questions or concerns to me directly at: administrator@beaconbrookhc.com
Thank you,
Melissa Vivo, Administrator
