Dear Residents, Families, and Associates of Cedarwood at Sandy;
Thank you for your continued support as we monitor the ongoing Coronavirus situation. The health and wellbeing of our residents, associates, and their families are of utmost importance and priority to all of us.
As you know, we are committed to identifying any potential “issues” as they arise. To that end we are moving proactively to test 25% of our associates every two weeks. If a positive case of Covid-19 is identified, we will move immediately to 100% associate testing.
I wanted to let you know that we’ve identified an associate who has tested positive. This associate is very good at wearing the required PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and we’ve determined that because of this PPE use, there is minimal chance of additional exposure. This associate remains offsite and will not return until they are cleared.
Out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to test all associates on Monday August 31st. We will also test any residents who may have a minimal probability of exposure along with any residents who feel that they would like to be tested. There will be no charge for this testing.
All operations within the community will remain “as-is” we will continue daily temperature checks for residents and staff as well as all other precautions.
I will continue to update you if there is any new information to share.
Sincerely,
Jesse Buntjer
Executive Director
