Dear fellow families,
We hope everyone is well and safe. We regret to inform you that limited visitation will be on hold until January 6, unless otherwise notified. Another (one) Gold Crest staff member has tested positive for Covid-19 this week. New York State Department of Health requires us to halt limited visitation for 14 days from the date the individual was tested.
All residents and staff who may have come in contact with these individuals are being closely monitored. As a precaution, all of our residents and staff was/will be tested every 3-7 days for 14 days since the most recent positive result has passed. We are monitoring the situation very closely and we continue staying in close contact with New York State Department of Health and inform them of what’s going on at the facility to ensure that our residents and staff are safe.
We will continue to have virtual visits via our Recreation department and our whole compliment of staff are willing to help you out with any questions or concerns any of you might have. We encourage families to send care packages for their loved ones that include a photo of the sender to be used at a memory prompt. We ask families to send video messages that can be replayed. Send via whatsapps to 347-802-6042.
To schedule/coordinate or questions about resident communication; please reach out to the social worker or our recreation director.
