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
The main activities of the day happen at 2:00 p.m. M-F. Some of the highlights are Dogwood Arts Adventure 4.3.24, Community Service school project 4.18.24, Birthday Party with the Hutchinson’s 2.24.24, Gardening with Girl scouts, Saturday 4.27.24
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.
“Brunch with Brian” Wednesday, April 24 @ 10:00 a.m. in the West Living Room. Family members are invited to attend this informational opportunity to learn of the improved NHC Advantage perks for all long term care residents residing at NHC Holston. R.S.V.P. appreciated The recreation partners are now known as Life Enrichment partners: Kim Uzonyi, Life Enrichment Director, ADC and Rebecca Thompson, Life Enrichment Assistant, CTRS.
