Dear Residents, Families, and Associates of The Fountains;
Throughout this entire pandemic experience, I have continued to provide open dialogue with residents, families, and associates and will continue to do so whether the news is good or, as in this case, more “challenging”.
Today the community associates received their COVID-19 test results completed on 6/25/2020. From this testing we had 3 positive cases of the virus. An associate in Dining Services, an associate in Maintenance and an associate in our housekeeping department have tested positive for Covid-19. After a thorough investigation, we believe that these associates have been compliant with all hygiene protocols, mask-wearing, and all sanitation best practices. These associate will remain out of the community until fully recovered (and not until multiple negative Covid tests are completed).
The residents at The Fountains have been asked to safe isolate as an extra layer of protection. All services will be provided in their apartment for their safety.
We have Thuroclean scheduled to fog the community tonight to sanitize all common areas.
We are in the process of setting up community testing for all residents who are interested early next week.
We will continue to operate guided by the CDC and are monitoring all residents and associates daily.
Thank you for your continued support as we navigate through these unusual circumstances together.
Sincerely,
Sandra Garutti
Executive Director
