Dear Garden House Residents, Family Members and Responsible Parties,
Residents cheered on the Bills last weekend as they achieved victory against the Baltimore Ravens! There were plenty of team-themed treats and positive vibes at our socially distant viewing party. Residents spent the week creating artwork and witnessing history as the 46th president of the United States was sworn in on Wednesday. We hope you all have a great weekend ahead!

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 Garden House 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.
