Easter Sunday, April 17, 2022

Happy Easter! Easter is one of the principal holidays, or feasts, of Christianity. It marks the Resurrection of Jesus three days after his death by crucifixion. For many Christian churches, Easter is the joyful end to the Lenten season of fasting and penitence.

We are looking forward to seeing signs of Spring.
Passover 2022: April 15-23
In Judaism, Passover is the holiday commemorating the Hebrews’ liberation from slavery in Egypt and the “passing over” of the forces of destruction, or the sparing of the firstborn of the Israelites, when the Lord “smote the land of Egypt” on the eve of the Exodus.
During these days, all leaven, whether in bread or other mixture, is prohibited, and only unleavened bread, called matzo, may be eaten. The matzo symbolizes both the Hebrews’ suffering while in bondage and the haste with which they left Egypt during the Exodus.
Why Volunteer-You learn a lot!
Volunteers learn things like:
  • Self: when you volunteer you can discover hidden talents that may change your view of your self-worth.
  • Community: Volunteers gain knowledge of local resources available to solve community needs.

Weinberg Campus has many opportunities to get involved. Please contact Sarah Leffler at (716) 639-3311 ext. 2492 or email sleffler@weinbergcampus.org.
Holiday decorating and games-such fun.
A visit from "woman's" best friend always cheers us up!
Use the tools to keep everyone safe during Passover and Easter gatherings.
Vaccines, boosters, testing, and treatment are the best defense against spreading COVID-19. If you do test positive, isolate from others and talk to your healthcare provider about treatments.

Testing required here
Proof of negative COVID-19 testing is still required to visit Rosa Coplon. Please be aware that large gatherings are not permitted. You must be able to maintain a 6-foot distance between people when you are gathered together. Social distancing makes a difference!

Accepted proof of COVID-19 testing:

1. For rapid antigen test taken at home no more than 1 day prior to your visit—Provide a photo of your negative test result on an electronic device, such as a mobile phone.

2. For COVID-19 test taken at an outside facility, no more than 2 days prior to your visit—Provide your dated negative results either on an electronic device, such as a mobile phone, or on a paper report.

3. After you have provided your first negative COVID-19 test result, a limited number of rapid COVID-19 test kits will be available upon request at the Weinberg Campus reception desk to use at home prior to future visits.
 
4. Our staff will verify acceptable proof of your negative COVID-19 test before you will be allowed to visit.

  • Visitors who fail to provide acceptable proof of a negative COVID-19 test will not be allowed to visit until proof is provided.

  • If a visitor has had COVID-19 within the past 90 days, and has completed the 5 day isolation period, the visitor must still be tested. If the test result is positive, the visitor will not be allowed to enter. You must present a negative COVID-19 test result to enter the facility.
 
5. After providing proof of a negative COVID-19 test result, you will then need to complete the screening process, which will include an attestation that you provided your negative COVID-19 test result.
 
We will continue to follow DOH and CMS guidance for any exemptions to
requirements for COVID-19 testing prior to visitation. 

Paper Masks & Physical Distancing Requirements
  • Cloth masks are not permitted. Visitors must wear a well-fitting, surgical face mask. We will provide you with a surgical mask if you need one. It is recommended to wear a KN95 or N95 mask if you have one.

  • Masks covering the nose and mouth must be worn at all times, including in resident rooms.

  • Visitors are required to stay 6 feet away from staff, other residents and other visitors.

  • All visitors must follow infection control and prevention measures during the visit (clean your hands frequently, wear a mask, physically distance and stay home when ill).
How to Get a COVID-19 Test
  • Americans with health insurance can get up to eight at-home COVID-19 tests free. 
  • Private health plans are required to cover the cost of over-the-counter tests at up to $12 per test. Consumers can either purchase the testing kits at no cost or submit receipts for reimbursement from their insurance company.
