Dear Dosberg Manor Residents, Family Members and Responsible Parties,
With last weekend's Buffalo Bills win against the Ravens, many residents are pumped for this upcoming weekend's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. And, who could forget hockey season? Go Sabres! Many spent the week watching history unfold as the 46th president of the United States was sworn in. Many look forward to socially distant morning discussions where residents reminisce about their lives, making new friends as they get to know one another.

Dosberg Manor residents had the opportunity to receive the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by CVS Health last week. We were pleased with how smooth the process went - check out our friends from CVS Health, below! |
|
If your loved one did not receive the first dose of the vaccine, they have a second opportunity to do so on campus - the vaccination schedule is below:
February 4 - 1st and 2nd dose opportunities
February 25 - 2nd dose opportunity
|
|
We are not aware of additional onsite vaccination dates at this time. Residents who would still like to receive their first vaccine but have not yet opted in are welcome to contact us with consent for the Feb. 4th vaccine clinic.
If you haven't already, please review the links below for additional information and to help answer any questions that you may have.

Ongoing Safety Precautions
The COVID-19 vaccine is a step in the right direction, but we cannot yet let our guard down. We continue to adhere to the following safety precautions to protect and care for residents and staff on campus.
-
Per Department of Health (DOH) recommendations, please do not take residents out of Dosberg Manor except for medically necessary appointments. Staying onsite is the best way to protect residents from contracting COVID-19.
- Care for residents with COVID-19 is provided within one unit to prevent the potential spread. We continue to work closely with the DOH to follow the latest recommendations and requirements.
-
To ensure safety for everyone, all staff wear personal protective equipment required by the DOH, including N95 masks, eye protection throughout all units and resident areas (face shields or goggles), gowns, and gloves. Staff training on best practices is ongoing as we strive to provide the best possible care. In addition, we continue to follow DOH guidelines to test staff for COVID-19.
-
Our facility uses a comprehensive, science-based disinfection program that includes a pulsed UV disinfection system proven to eliminate pathogens such as coronavirus from surfaces in seconds. This technology is also used in many hospitals. In addition, we continue to use our Storm 2 Pro Dual Pressure sprayer to sanitize difficult to reach areas beyond surface cleaning. Our 7-step cleaning process follows CDC infection control guidance using hospital-grade disinfectants.
