Rosa Coplon Family Update

January 7, 2022

We are pleased to share updates and information about visiting, regulatory guidelines, and other news with residents, family members and responsible parties for Rosa Coplon Living Center.

Welcome 2022

The new year is here and we are doing what we do best, caring for our residents in the midst of COVID-19, flu, weather...welcome to 2022 Buffalo. We try to keep a smile in our eyes (the masks hide our grins). Please remember to mask up when you come to visit and partner with us to keep everyone safe. Thank you!

Flu and COVID-19

An annual flu vaccine is recommended for almost everyone 6 months and older. It is one of the best ways to reduce flu illnesses, hospitalizations and death from flu. At Rosa Coplon, all staff have received their COVID-19 vaccinations and over 90% of eligible residents are vaccinated and have received boosters. And, as always, eligible residents have received flu shots!

This fall and winter, the flu virus and COVID-19 may both be spreading. Vaccination is the best defense against both COVID-19 and the flu. Both vaccines are necessary to help people stay healthy and to avoid added stress to our health care system. We encourage you to get your vaccinations to stay healthy and keep our residents and staff safe.

It may be hard to tell the difference between flu and COVID-19 because many of the symptoms are similar. You can learn about the similarities and differences between flu and COVID-19 here or talk to your health care provider.

COVID Guidelines

With the high transmission of COVID-19 in Erie County, a 7 day rate of positive COVID tests at 20%, mask guidelines issued by the Department of Health for visitors and residents are still in effect. Thank you for partnering with Weinberg Campus staff to comply with these guidelines to help keep yourself, residents, and our staff healthy.

Visitation is only allowed in resident rooms within the facility and visitors must remain in the room throughout their visit.

Masks (covering nose and mouth) are required to be worn per DOH guidelines whenever entering the facility and during indoor and outdoor visits.

Regardless of resident and visitor vaccination status, masks must be worn by both resident and visitor(s) if the nursing home’s county Covid-19 level of transmission is substantial to high.

If a resident is fully vaccinated, they can choose to have close contact (such as a hug) with visitor(s) despite the visitor’s vaccination status. The resident and visitor(s) must be alone in the resident room or designated visitation room, or outside on the facility grounds and must be socially distanced from others. Both resident and visitor(s) must be wearing a well-fitting face mask and performing hand-hygiene before and after physical contact.

If the resident is unvaccinated and despite the vaccination status of visitor(s) both parties must wear a well- fitting mask (covering nose and mouth) at all times during the visit and must be socially distanced at all times and are not allowed to have physical contact. Visits must be conducted in resident’s room or designated visitation room, or outside on the facility grounds.
