Ongoing Resident Surveillance and Testing
We continue to monitor all staff and residents in our facility for signs and symptoms and test as necessary.
We are currently working with the Department of Health to bring back our residents who had to be temporarily moved to an offsite COVID unit.
Mandatory Staff Testing
We are currently in our second week of onsite staff testing: full-time staff twice a week and part-time staff weekly.
Recovered Cases Returning to Menorah Park
It was our goal from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure that following recovery, our residents would be able to return to the familiar care setting of their home here at Menorah Park. We have been working in collaboration with the Onondaga County Department of Health, local hospitals, and long term care partners who have cared for our residents. In order for our residents to return, they have to have remained at the outside facility for at least 14 days and have recovered from COVID prior to their readmission to the Jewish Home, where they will continue to be monitored for signs and symptoms.
Ongoing Updates
Menorah Park’s clinical staff will continue to notify you of any changes in the status of your loved one(s). For non-clinical updates, families are encouraged to continue working with their Syracuse Jewish Family Service contact to connect with loved ones via phone and video calls. If you have not received an assignment please contact Ellen Somers, Assistant Director, 315.446.9111, ext. 225 or at [email protected].
