Dear Residents, Associates, Friends, and Families of Magnolia Glen:
On November 24, 2020 I communicated the fact we experienced a positive hit for COVID-19 in our assisted living resident saliva pool as well as our vendor saliva pool. Once we received the results from the pooled saliva testing, we immediately began the process of testing each individual with PCR esophageal tests to identify any individuals with active COVID-19. Below are the results from the individual esophageal testing that were received today:
- 1 resident in assisted living has tested positive for COVID-19. This resident is currently in a local hospital being treated and evaluated.
- All individuals in the vendor pool received negative test results for COVID-19.
We have communicated directly with the family of the impacted resident as well as all individuals in the vendor pool to share the individual results. We are currently in the process of performing exposure tracing to mitigate any possibility of community spread. A Magnolia Glen representative will be contacting any individuals who we believe were exposed according to the CDC definition of exposure.
Thank you for everyone’s compliance with our Pillars of Safety and we will continue to communicate openly as we progress through this active COVID-19 case as well as any future cases. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Jaime Pacheco
Executive Director
