Update from Administrator – May 3, 2022

5.3.2022

Good afternoon,

I am writing to notify you that we had 1 additional resident test positive for COVID-19. This new Covid-19 case is also on Whispering Pines, all cases are Whispering Pines unit only at this time, and the residents and staff who were exposed on this unit will continue to be monitored and tested.

We will continue to follow CDC and DPH guidance.

CT’s  7-day Rolling COVID-19 positivity rate is to 8.85%.

At this time, the facility remains open for visitation. For the safety of the residents, we encourage you not to visit if you have been exposed or are not feeling well. Please note, if you are visiting a resident on the Whispering Pines unit: first check in with the front desk receptionist, review and sign our Covid-19 waiver form, then enter the unit through our back entrance. PPE will be provided to you for your safety.

Thank you to those of you who have returned consent forms for your loved ones to receive the second booster.  We will begin to administer the second boosters to eligible residents this week.  If you have not returned the consent form, please do so at your earliest convenience.

We appreciate your continued patience and understanding at this time.

Hope that you are safe, and healthy.

Happy early Mother’s Day to all of you who are Mother’s !!!!!!
Lizbeth Carmichael,
