After several uneventful months, COVID 19 numbers are once again on the rise. While the majority of the cases tend to be among the unvaccinated, a small number of fully vaccinated individuals are becoming infected and testing positive as well.

We are encouraging all of our residents, staff, family and friends to remember that we cannot allow anyone to enter our community beyond our screening stations if they report that they have ANY symptom. We are also closely monitoring COVID 19 numbers in our area and if trends continue to show growing concern, we may need to reinstate full precautions across various areas of campus. Please use discretion when visiting and postpone in-person visits if there is any chance that you could be ill, could have been exposed, or were gathered in large numbers with others who were not all vaccinated.

Thank you for your continued understanding and ongoing support of our efforts to keep our residents and staff safe.

Please share this important visitation information with family and friends who may plan a visit to Evergreen. It is vital that we continue to follow federal and state guidance and comply with all regulations. Health center requirements are different than community recommendations.  This includes wearing a mask, social distancing and handwashing.

Please remember the following when visiting your loved one:

– Visitors are still required to screen at the kiosk at door 4

– Visits must take place in resident rooms or outside, not in common areas

– Two people are allowed to visit at a time

– Residents & Visitors must wear masks when out of resident rooms

– The GardenSide Restaurant and Pub 67 remain closed to health center residents

– Dogs are not yet permitted in the health center. If you would like to have a pet visit, it must take place outdoors.

Per guidance, once you are vaccinated you still need to practice normal pandemic behavior. Here is why:

– In the short run, it takes several weeks after getting the vaccine before it builds-up a protective immune response in your body. Until then, you are still vulnerable to get sick from the COVID-19 virus.

– For those who are vaccinated and do not get sick, we don’t know yet if some virus particles can survive and reproduce in your body that you might to spread to others when you breathe, cough, or sneeze.

– Because the virus is still spreading, it is especially important to wear a mask and continue physical distancing to protect yourself and your family.

We continue to be grateful for your patience and support.  Please continue to check back for ongoing updates.
