English Oaks Convalescent & Rehabilitation Hospital

Hello Families, We are beginning to open for modified in person visitation. Visits will need to be scheduled through the Activities department and next week we will have an online platform available for you to use, so you can schedule visits at your convenience. Visits are limited to two (2)visitors identified on the resident’s face sheet as contact tracing needs to be available should illness occur after a visit. Indoor visits are limited to 30 minutes in order to accommoda...te our resident population. Visits need to be in a communal space, with social distancing and infection control measures in place. All visitors will be screened for symptoms of illness and have their temperature taken prior to being escorted to the visitation area. Unfortunately we cannot allow children in at this time. Masks must be worn during the visit and consumption of food or beverages is not permitted. Visitors need to remain in the visitation area. We are excited to see everyone again and ask that you have patience and consideration during this challenging time. We will do our best to meet your needs within our abilities and the State guidance! We understand that this new normal of scheduled visits is not ideal, but we would rather have scheduled visits than no visits at all. Looking forward to seeing you soon! Activities can be reached by calling the main number and leaving a message at extension 7677. We will call you back with available appointment dates and times. A letter detailing the new visitation guidance and how to access our online scheduling application will go out this week.

Although social distancing can make you feel isolated from the world, there are still ways to virtually get out beyond the walls of your home. Check out these options for activities seniors can enjoy online. https://www.lifegen.net//5-ways-for-seniors-to-/index.html

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. Leo F. Buscaglia

What else can we do to help prevent the spread of COVID-19? The measures you are already taking to fight COVID-19 are the most important: practicing social distancing, wearing a face covering, and taking care of your health. Going a little further and disinfecting in your home will give you extra protection and peace of mind. https://www.lifegen.net//cleaning-your-home-to-/index.html
