Additional Positive Cases at The Oaks
Today two more staff members at The Oaks have tested positive. Both individuals are currently quarantining off-campus and will not return until they have completed their required isolation period and test negative. A total of two residents at the Oaks have tested positive; one (reported on January 12) is still in isolation and one (reported today) has been transferred to an outside facility. We continue to monitor staff and residents for signs and symptoms.
We continue to remain diligent in our efforts to prevent its spread by:
- Temping all staff and visitors upon entrance
- Restricting non-essential visitors from the building
- Enforcing social distancing and masks in common spaces
- Restricting activities to smaller, safely-distanced groups
- Ongoing resident and staff education and reinforcement of proper use of masks, regular handwashing, hand sanitizer use, and wearing masks in ALL common spaces
- Ongoing enhanced disinfection and cleaning of common spaces
- Closed dining room
- Delivery of ALL meals to residents’ rooms
As always, we encourage our families AND residents to continue taking the steps to keep themselves and their loved ones safe: wearing a mask, safely distancing, regular handwashing and limiting unnecessary public outings.
Vaccine Status
We continue to work with Kinney Drugs to identify a date when we can set up a clinic at The Oaks, and we will update you as this progresses.

Inn COVID Vaccination Update
We are rapidly preparing for the deployment of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and our pharmacy partner, Walgreens, will be supporting us in managing this through three, on-site vaccination clinics. Clinics begin tomorrow, Thursday, January 21. The vaccines will be administered by trained, licensed professionals (including pharmacists) from Walgreens. Following administration, all recipients will be closely monitored for the recommended 15 minutes as well as throughout the day.
Doses are administered 21 days apart. If a resident decides to pass on the first dose, they will have an opportunity to receive their first dose at the second clinic. Over the next week, Matt will be working to secure residents’ consent, either from the residents themselves or through the appropriate primary contact.Everyone receiving the COVID-19 vaccine is required by law to have, on file, signed (or documented verbally) evidence of informed-consent being provided. This consent must be obtained before a vaccine can be administered.
At this time, these vaccines are not required or mandatory. However, we are strongly urging both residents and staff to get vaccinated.
