Dear friends, the current COVID-19 outbreak situation means that it is critical that we take
every precaution possible. We must prevent this virus from entering our facility. Protecting our residents’ health and safety is our top priority.
The CDC has done a careful review of the death rate in the elderly, especially those with dementia or chronic diseases. Experts are recommending we take action to limit individuals from entering our building and to ensure sick employees stay home.
Early data shows that
• The mortality rate for people over 80 in the general
population is 15% in China.
• The World Health Organization report estimates the mortality rate at
21.9% for those over 80.
• At the nursing home in Washington state, there have been 50
residents who have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. As of March 9, 2020,
19 of those have died. This is a high death rate.
There is a risk that people who appear healthy will enter nursing homes and
infect residents. Studies of past viral epidemics where recommending prevention
was delayed were not effective. These studies show that the sooner we limit
interactions with each other and wash your hands frequently virus spreads more
slowly.
These facts have led many to recommend severe limitations on visitors.
This describes why we have taken this action now.
Visitation will be limited to immediate family or friends who need to visit for critical or time sensitive reasons such as hospice-related visits, complete medical authorizations, etc. Routine social visits are prohibited. Visiting hours will be restricted to between 8am and 8 pm. All volunteer related activities have been cancelled through April 30.
When visiting your family member, wash your hands or use alcohol based
hand rub upon entry to the facility and throughout your visit.
Confine your visit to your resident’s room and do not visit with other residen
• Do not shake hands, touch or hug individuals during your visit.
We hope this explains to you why we are asking people to limit their visits.
This may prevent you from physically seeing your family member or friend. Our
residents’ health and safety are our top concern. We are committed to doing
everything we can to protect them.
Please feel free to contact Dennett Road Manor at (301) 334-8700 with any
questions. Please make sure we have your latest contact information. Thank you
for supporting these efforts.
