Lamont McClure and Administrator Jennifer Stewart-King report that, currently, there are no cases of COVID-19 among residents or staff at Gracedale Nursing Home and that the facility has not seen a death from the virus since mid-April.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe health and well-being of our residents is our highest priority,\u201d says Jennifer Stewart-King. \u201cWe are very grateful for our residents and employees who have agreed to be vaccinated. Gracedale hasn\u2019t had a death linked to COVID-19 in six months and I believe that is due to our strong vaccination program.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cVaccines save lives and livelihoods,\u201d says Lamont McClure. \u201cWe want everyone who walks through the doors of Gracedale to be vaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gracedale\u2019s in-house pharmacy holds a weekly vaccine clinic for residents and staff. They will begin administering booster shots this week. Currently, 92% of residents and 65% of the staff have received a vaccination for COVID-19. Unvaccinated staff members are tested for COVID-19 twice a week.<\/p>\n
All family and compassionate visitations at Gracedale must be scheduled through the Therapeutic Recreation Department or a Social Service worker and all visitors must follow the facility\u2019s infection prevention protocols while on site.<\/p>\n
