With a third and final round of COVID-19 vaccines scheduled for March 31 for any resident and staff member who hasn’t already received a second dose of the Moderna vaccine, we’re pleased to announce that we’re COVID-19 free! We’re proud to announce that thanks to the diligent work and efforts of residents and staff, we have been free from active cases of COVID-19 for several weeks.
Last week we had our second round of Moderna COVID-19 vaccinations. I’m happy to report that the majority of our residents and many of our employees have elected to get the vaccine. By the time everyone has the opportunity to get the vaccine, after our third round scheduled for March 31, over 90% of our residents will have received it either here at Las Fuentes or through an outside provider. We are committed to continue to safely reopen all of our dining options, transportation schedules, and activities as the vaccines are completed and conditions permit.
Yesterday Las Fuentes Resort Village completed the first round of COVID-19 Moderna vaccines in partnership with CVS pharmacy. Almost all of our residents and staff were vaccinated. It was a day of celebration and happiness! We believe our mission is to provide life changing service. That’s the goal and guiding principle in everything we do.
As we reported on December 29, following the Spectrum COVID tests, less than 10 residents had positive results. All residents who tested positive were asked to quarantine for fourteen days. We can report that the majority of those quarantined are now safely out of quarantine.
As of today, we have three residents that have tested Positive and are on 14 day quarantines in the entire building and none in our assisted living building. There are others that are on cautionary quarantines that have not tested positive for COVID. We also have three employees who are on quarantine.
As you are aware, as the surge of COVID of cases in the state and in our Community continues, we want to remind you of steps to keep yourself and others safe from the spread of the virus in our Community and what we are doing. These best practices are developed from local health department and CDC guidance…
Some of you may have seen our notice about the recent positive test findings for two employees in our Assisted Living. We have since learned that we have a positive independent living resident. This resident remains in our building on isolation precautions. Any assistance provided by our staff to this resident will be offered using heightened infection control procedures.
Many of you have seen news about the uptick in the COVID positive cases in the country. We have recently learned that two staff members and one resident have tested positive for the virus. Neither employee has been in the building since November 22. The resident is currently out of the building.
Las Fuentes Resort Village has planned a variety of creative monthly activities to engage and delight our residents this year. We’ve had a lot of fun bringing events to our residents outside their apartment doors (Social Distancing).
Many of you are aware of the surge in COVID cases within the state of Arizona. We wanted to provide you an update on our Community’s current status in relation to the virus and the actions we continue to take to prevent the spread of the virus to our vulnerable population. Firstly, we want to let you know that Las Fuentes currently has no known residents or employees who have tested positive for COVID-19.
Las Fuentes Resort Village has 500 additional face masks for protection against the COVID-19 pandemic after a donation by Lowe’s Home Improvement of Prescott.
