Dec. 20/22 - Outbreak Status - 1st Floor

December 20, 2022

Dear Fairvern Stakeholder, Family Members, Staff and volunteers:

Please be advised that Fairvern currently has (5) five positive cases in our Resident population on the First Floor. We are cohorting the floors and continuing to monitor all residents for signs and symptoms. First floor residents are staying in their room and meal service is being delivered to them. Resident masking is also being encouraged for those who can tolerate the mask.

Those Residents who are positive have been isolated and Powers of Attorney have been notified. We are working with Public Health and should there be changes you will be notified.

At this time, only Essential Caregivers may visit Residents on the First Floor and only visit your loved one. Eye protection and a facemask is required on the First Floor. Please ensure Infection Protocols are followed and hand hygiene is completed. If your loved one is positive, you will be required to wear additional Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Second floor residents are not affected at this point and are being cohorted to their floor. No changes to visiting protocol to second floor at this time.

Please remember that the virus is highly transmissible. We are providing this message so that those wishing to visit our Home can make their own determination regarding entering the Home to visit their loved one.

In the meantime, we will continue to do our very best to keep everyone in our Home safe. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Sincerely,

Patti Gilchrist

Director of Resident Care

Fairvern
