COVID-19 UPDATE FOR FRIDAY, MAY 20, 2022
We tested all staff yesterday (Thursday, May 19) and all staff were negative for COVID. There are no COVID positive residents in the Health Care Center or the Independent Living at this time.
Our Assisted Living retested all residents again yesterday (Thursday) and there were no new COVID positive results. The 3 AL residents who tested positive on Monday, 5/2/22 have completed their required isolation period. However, we do have 3 other AL residents who are still in their quarantine period. We currently have 2 AL staff who are at home isolating after testing positive for the virus last week. Group meals and group activities continue to be suspended in the AL during this period of outbreak testing.
All Lucy Corr staff are vaccinated as are an overwhelming number of our residents in all levels of care.
Chesterfield County is still rated RED by CMS for COVID transmissibility. Cases in the county are higher again this week, but we are not seeing that drive COVID-related hospitalizations higher. All visitors and staff entering our Assisted Living or Health Care Facility will be screened for symptoms, fever, and exposure before entering the in-patient areas and all staff and visitors must wear mask when inside the facilities. If you don’t feel well please consider scheduling a virtual visit with your loved one or delaying your visit until your symptoms go away. We also encourage everyone to be vaccinated, especially if you are often with someone who is elderly or has a weakened immune system.
As always, we appreciate your continued thoughts and prayers for our residents and our caregivers.

VIRTUAL VISITS ENCOURAGED
Our Wi-Fi is available and free of charge for residents. If you provide your loved one with their own personal tablet or Wi-Fi device, they can connect with friends and families at any time, and not have to wait for our assistance.
If you are interested in providing your loved one with his/her own Wi-Fi device to use for virtual visiting, please keep the following mind:
