Dear Family Members and Friends,
The Care Center at Sunset Lake remains committed to protecting residents and staff from COVID-19. We have made it a priority to keep our residents, families and staff informed of all of our efforts to ensure the safety and health of everyone living and working at The Care Center during the COVID-19 pandemic.
No (0) staff members have tested positive for COVID-19 within the last week. There continues to be no (0) confirmed COVID-19 cases among residents. Currently, the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) requires testing of all residents in the facility every 3-7 days for 14 days following a positive case in the facility, and testing staff two (2) times a week.
A message from Activities: “We had our first birthday party in a long time on Monday. The residents enjoyed cake and music. We are continuing activities on the units while rotating the units to bring into the dining room Monday - Thursday. The residents are enjoying the time off the units and change of scenery. For our Happy Hour this week they will be getting brownies and hot chocolate to celebrate National Brownie Day!”
We will continue to keep you informed of the status of the health and well-being of the Care Center at Sunset Lake residents and staff throughout this public health crisis. We will continue weekly updates for all residents’ families and staff, and will notify resident and families individually of personal health information.
Should you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Nursing Home Administrator or the Director of Nursing.
