Sienna at Otay Ranch Senior Living

Please help us welcome Rebecca Williams, Executive Director of Sienna at Otay Ranch!

Unfortunately, we need to temporarily suspend our Compassionate Care Visit Program due to increased COVID-19 cases in our area. We will reinstate the program as soon as we are able. We are still offering virtual visitation. Please contact us at [email protected] Stay safe and please wear a mask

Although social distancing and physical separation are still important to keep our residents safe, we are taking steps to combat the unintended consequences of prolonged social isolation and to maintain overall health and well-being. We are pleased to announce the planned implementation of a new Compassion Visit program. This program is established in coordination with local, state and regulatory guidelines for visitor restrictions which may allow certain visitors for residen...ts from outside our community, necessary for those residents with Hospice services, or essential for the well-being or psychosocial support of residents as a result of social isolation related to COVID-19. Listed below are some of the guidance criteria we will use: - Compassion visitors shall be required to read and sign the COVID-19 Risk Addendum before visit can take place. - Compassion visitors shall be 18 years and older. - Compassion visitors shall be family members, power of attorneys, outside caregivers, friends or designated Essential Caregivers who provide regular care and emotional support to the resident prior to the pandemic. - Compassion visitors shall limit their movement in our community to the entrance screening area, designated visitation space and designated visitor bathroom. - Compassion Visits shall schedule appointments, a minimum of 24-hours in advance, during hours designated by the Executive Director/Designee and visits are limited to 10% of the total community current occupancy. - Compassion Visits shall be suspended at any time under the direction of local, state or federal agencies directives. - Compassion Visits require a PPE Kit be purchased from the community at a cost of $6.00 for a one-time use kit. This is to ensure an intact, clean, unused equipment. The PPE fee shall be paid the community by the visitor in cash or check only and cannot be charged to a resident’s account. The Executive Director reserves the right to notify families of alternate means to cover the cost of community PPE. Learn more on our website - https://bit.ly/3oXbDIN

We want to thank many of you for helping the global cause of reducing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now more than ever, we need all the help we can get to limit the spread of this infectious virus. We are asking you and everyone to continue your social distancing and avoidance of visits to the community. By working together, we hope that with a unified focus on community protection, this time apart from loved ones in the community will be shorter for everyone. During t...his time, we are focusing intently on limiting the spread of COVID-19 where we can. Our efforts will only be successful when everyone effectively participates. We are working hard to keep every resident at home within the community; to reduce the risk of virus transmission. We are working to protect our staff from unnecessary exposure in an effort to keep them healthy and continue to provide the care to the residents they serve. We recognize that some families and friends provide supplies and groceries to their loved ones. We welcome this to continue, but we are asking for an increased focus on safety during this critical time. If you provide supplies to your family member who lives in one of our communities, you are a vital part of the effort of keeping infections away from the community. For Deliveries to the Community, We Need Your Help With the days and weeks ahead, we ask that you schedule the drop off through the Executive Director of the community so that we can ensure supplies are properly disinfected before coming into the community. We ask that you do not attempt to enter the community at any time so we can protect the environment from any unnecessary risk and exposure. Thank you for all you do to support this cause; working together and with your help we will continue to focus on limiting the spread of this virus. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email us at [email protected].

Our main focus right now is the care of your loved ones, our residents. To further limit the spread of this virus, we have implemented a restriction on all visitors except community staff, healthcare professionals, and other essential individuals that support the care of residents. Friends or family members whose loved one is receiving end-of-life care will be allowed. This restriction is effective immediately. Also, per Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recomme...ndation, the community has suspended communal dining and are taking all meals to residents rooms. We appreciate your patience and support, as we know the unknown is concerning and you might have questions. We ask that you direct message us through our Facebook page, as the community is being inundated with telephone calls. We will continue to monitor the situation closely as this is a rapidly changing situation and we are continually monitoring with the CDC and federal, state and local government. We will adjust our operations, as appropriate and mandated, in this rapidly changing environment. If you would like to read more on CDC recommendations, visit: http://bit.ly/33siBeE

On Thursday, March 12, California State Governor, Gavin Newsom, mandated additional restrictions on visitors to senior living communities due to the coronavirus (COVID-19). Effective immediately, these restrictions have been put in place: All visitors are required to show identification and complete a health screening questionnaire to limit those with potential symptoms of COVID-19.... We allow a maximum of two visitors per resident each day. The visit must occur in the resident's room. Visiting hours are limited until the restrictions are lifted. Please contact the community directly for visiting hours. We ask that unless there is an essential need to visit, we suggest our visitors refrain from in person visits at this time. We will make every effort to offer additional means of resident contact via FaceTime or other online chat platforms. At this time, we are suspending all community outings. Due to the evolving information on COVID-19, we are actively monitoring and following Center for Disease Control (CDC), state and local health departments guidelines. Our community will continue to work closely with the CDC and the state to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
