January 29, 2021 Dear Forest Creek Residents, Family Members and Responsible Parties,   Many residents have enjoyed playing Bingo, joining virtual exercise classes, and watching classic movies this week. Today we celebrate Janaury birthdays with delicious treats and a cocktail cart. We hope you all have a great weekend ahead!

COVID-19 Vaccine Update Yesterday, New York State halted the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine to people ages 65+. The federal, state and local governments continue to adjust vaccine eligibility based on available supplies. The county will still vaccinate those 65 and older who had previously made an appointment with the county Health Department and either had their appointment canceled or are already scheduled to receive a second dose of the vaccine from the county. New appointments cannot be made. We encourage you to call the county's main COVID-19 hotline, 858-2929, to learn more. You can fill out an online form to see if you are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.

Ongoing Safety Precautions   We are not letting our guard down! We continue to adhere to safety precautions to protect and care for residents and staff on campus.

Visiting Our visitation policy remains the same. One family member is permitted to visit each tenant. Please contact us in advance to ensure your name is on our roster, and be sure to enter the facility through the main entrance on 2700 N. Forest Road. You are always welcome to schedule a Skype visit with a loved one. Contact Holly Steeg at [email protected]rg to schedule a virtual visit.
