Dear Residents, Families, and Associates of Drake Terrace;
Thank you for your support during these unprecedented times. We understand the impact that this pandemic has had on your quality of life, and we will continue to make operational decisions that balance that quality of life with our highest priority of keeping our residents and associates as safe as possible.
Kaiser and Marin Public Health are coming back this week on Wednesday 6/10 and Thursday 6/11 at 9:30 am to test all staff members, assisted living residents and connections/memory care residents. Kaiser testing will take place on Wednesday and Public Health testing on Thursday. They will perform testing on each floor like they did before. Care staff will be available to assist residents to the testing rooms for their floor. We will keep everyone updated regarding the current test results when they become available.
Drake Terrace in collaboration and with support from Kisco Senior Living is preparing a variety of contingency plans depending on the outcomes from the upcoming testing to ensure that resident needs are met.
Elevator update for Assisted Living
The Assisted Living building elevator renovation has begun. Contractors are here today, Monday 6/8/2020 through Tuesday 6/15 and working during the hours of approx. 6am-8pm each day. The elevator will not be operable during this entire time. If anyone needs assistance with the stairs our staff will help them navigate each floor. We encourage any assisted living resident who has a doctors appointment this week to try and reschedule for the following week, due to the work being done on the elevator.
Fire Alarm: We also had a false fire alarm last night at approx. 9:40 pm.
Thank you for helping to keep everyone as safe as possible by keeping face masks on when outside your apartments, conducting frequent hand washing, and maintaining social distancing whenever necessary. I will update the community “information hot line” with updates as well.
I will continue to record updates for residents and families via a private message service. You may hear my messages at your convenience by calling (415)-745-9575. The messages will be brief and status oriented.
Best Regards,
John Meyer
Executive Director, Drake
