You want to be in a place where community life is vibrant, families can visit residents and there is freedom to live well - safely. This is our goal too and here is our approach.
Vaccine
We encourage all residents and staff to get the COVID vaccination and booster doses to protect each other and reduce the likelihood of serious illness. CDC resources and information for visitors regarding the COVID-19 vaccine can be found here.
Clean Air
PHS has installed air disinfection and purification equipment. This bipolar ionization technology safely cleans the air inside buildings by using an electronic charge to create a field of ions that kills pathogens, reduces the airborne concentration of the COVID virus and increases the effectiveness of HVAC filtration. This is accomplished without using unsafe chemicals or creating any unwanted byproducts. Learn more in our blog!
Visitors
Visitors are encouraged and will be asked to follow CDC and health department guidance for infection control and prevention. Find more information on our COVID-19 information page or contact the specific PHS community to learn more. Each of our care center and assisted living locations will post visual alerts that include instructions about current Infection Prevention and Control recommendations.
Screening & Testing
We will assist residents and staff who are symptomatic or have knownCOVID-19 exposure to be tested. On-site asymptomatic testing is provided when warranted, following confirmed cases or elevated risk from the broader community.
Primary Care Telemedicine
In partnership with your primary care provider, we can help facilitate the use of telemedicine to conduct phone-based visits. This reduces physical contact while maintaining exceptional care.
Cleaning & Disinfection
Protocols for deep cleaning and sanitization are in practice. We continue to take extra measures to clean and disinfect all high-touch areas throughout the building. This includes using electrostatic sprayers and other large scale disinfection equipment. Handwashing stations and/or hand sanitizer dispensers are at all entrances.
Private Rooms
As a commitment to our superior resident experience, we offer over 95% private rooms in our care settings.
