To: Solheim Employees, Residents, Family Members and Stakeholders
From: Sam Oden, CEO of Solheim Senior Community
Thank you to those who contributed towards helping us send interested staff to the special Health Care Appreciation Night at Dodger Stadium for this upcoming September 30th game against the Colorado Rockies. Each attendee will receive a special exclusive healthcare-branded giveaway. We would like to send as many employees as are interested to represent Solheim! You may still make a contribution; $150 will help us send 5 employees, $300 covers 10, etc. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to show our thanks to our workers. You may leave your donation at our front desk and mark Dodgers in the memo line, or give online at www.solheimsenior.org/donate or CLICK HERE. Please make your donation by Monday August 22nd so that our Solheim crew may all sit together, and cheer on the Dodgers representing Solheim together!
We’ve added several new activities to our calendar over the last month, and residents are loving the variety! We’ve been enjoying the outdoors as well, and please remember, especially during the heat of summer, to stay hydrated! We have drink stations available throughout campus, and encourage you to take advantage of them!
Our visitation guidelines remain the same as last week (please be aware that we stop offering rapid tests at 4:30pm). If you come to visit after that time, we ask that you provide your own proof of a negative Covid-19 test result from within the past 48 hours. I sincerely thank you for your patience, as our guidelines will likely continue to evolve considering changing regulatory guidance. Our current visitation guidelines are:
All visitors in our Residential, Assisted and Memory Care levels of living on campus may visit indoors if the visitor is fully vaccinated OR provides proof of a negative PCR COVID-19 test result within 48 Hours, or a negative Antigen test within 24 hours.
All visitors in our Health Center (SNF), including essential visitors who were previously exempt from all visitor testing requirements, must provide one of the following prior to entering the facility for all indoor and in-room visits, REGARDLESS of vaccination status: a negative PCR COVID-19 test result within 48 Hours, or a negative Antigen test within 24 hours.
Testing is not required for OUTDOOR visitation.
Visitors must always wear a facemask during the visitation and physically distance themselves from facility staff and other residents and visitors that are not part of their group at all times during the visit.
Alternative communication such as phone calls, video calls, and online communication is always available.
I am pleased to say that as of today we have no new residents or staff who have tested positive for COVID-19.
