I hope you’re doing well and are able to enjoy this mild spring weather we’re experiencing.

We are excited that our staff have been willing to become vaccinated for COVID-19 to promote patient safety in the Center. Our current staff vaccination rate is approximately 80.5% as of today’s report.  We continue to promote and encourage staff and patient vaccination and hope this is encouraging to you.

As previously reported, we are now able to provide COVID-19 vaccination on an on-going basis to staff and patients. We will be receiving doses of vaccine from our pharmacy partner.  We will not be receiving the vaccine that is manufactured by Johnson & Johnson while it is being studied further by the FDA. It is our hope that making the vaccine available on-site will encourage continued vaccination participation among our patients and staff.

County Positivity Rate:  Increased to 10.5%.
Testing Frequency for Staff and Patients:  Staff are tested twice weekly based on the county positivity rate. Patients are tested as needed due to exposure or symptoms.
PPE: The supply remains adequate. Staff receive ongoing education on appropriate PPE utilization.
Visitation: Virtual, outdoor and scheduled indoor visitation are all currently available. Click on this link to schedule: https://abingdon-rehab.com/patient-visitations/.

As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Stacy Taylor, RN, BSN, LNHA
