Dear Families,
Welcome to April’s news! We look forward to enjoying all the signs of spring together at the center this month.
Special Announcement
LIVE MUSIC/DON & TESS STOVER APRIL 29TH 2PM
ICECREAM SOCIALS ON FRIDAYS
This month, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services launched a new requirement for long-term care centers regarding “Enhanced Barrier Precautions.” You will see our team wearing gowns and gloves occasionally in the center. This added level of precaution protects patients who might be more vulnerable if exposed to any multidrug-resistant organisms that live on the body.
We wanted to make sure you understand this is for extra precautions not because there is a new virus or germ in the center. As always, we appreciate your help in infection prevention! Washing our hands is the best way to prevent germs from spreading.
We encourage family members to join your loved one for group activities. Recreation calendar is posted on the NHC Athens website.
