Ongoing Safety Precautions   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 Garden House except for medically necessary appointments. 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. Our facility uses a comprehensive, science-based 7-step disinfection program that includes a pulsed UV disinfection system proven to eliminate pathogens from surfaces in seconds. This technology is also used in many hospitals. To ensure everyone’s safety, we continue to follow the DOH requirements in utilizing personal protective equipment such as face masks, eye protection, gowns, and gloves.

Visitation At this time, we have one positive case of COVID-19 in a resident and one in a staff member. Per DOH guidelines, restricted in-person visitation is temporarily suspended and is tentatively scheduled to resume February 18, pending we have no new cases of COVID-19 for 14 consecutive days, and pending there are no changes in DOH regulations regarding visitation Skype & Window Visits Contact Brennan Costello at bcostello@weinbergcampus.org, or call (716) 639-3311 ext. 2447.
