Visitation Updates for Villagio of Bradford Village
The Oklahoma Department of Health has recently created guidelines for indoor family visitation in assisted living and memory support communities. Villagio of Bradford Village Assisted Living in conjunction with Cappella Living Solutions have implemented protocols for resident, associate, and visitor protection.
The visitation will be structured and must be scheduled in advance. Visits will be limited to twenty minutes with sanitation protocols put in place between each visit. Visitors and residents will need to wear surgical masks and remain at least six feet apart. Visitation will paused if any residents or associates test positive for COVID-19, or if there are any pending cases.
Our community continues to operate under the CDC restricted status but a newly formed Health and Happiness committee is evaluating how we can better balance crucial required health protocols with the mental well-being and happiness of residents. We will have more updates soon.
Update 6/5/20
Updates to Health and Happiness Procedure
While many states are in various stages of reopening, government restrictions have not changed for senior living communities. We are still under restrictive CDC status. However, CLC-Cappella has formed a Health and Happiness Committee to reevaluate our current procedures in order to strike a balance between the crucial need to maintain physical health with mental health leading to happiness.
At this time, Villagio of Bradford Village is operating under restricted status per the state of Oklahoma guidelines. We will keep you updated and will share measures we are taking regarding in person visits as soon as we are able. Thank you for your continued support. Please contact us with questions or for more information
Update 5/29/20
New Procedures for Health and Happiness Visits
We are excited to share some good news. As many states are moving from “Stay at Home” to “Safer at Home” restrictions, Christian Living Communities-Cappella’s leadership team has been working to distill directives and evaluate procedures in order to strike a balance between the crucial need to maintain the physical health of residents with mental health that leads to happiness.
Oklahoma has not transitioned into the “safer at home” phase for their Senior Care Communities, therefore, the families with loved ones in our Oklahoma communities will not be able to participate in these visits but we are hopeful by mid-June we will be able to start this process.
We have developed new procedures pertaining to in-person visits via a plexiglass divider, self-isolation after essential appointments, residents who are able, to drive themselves to essential appointments, and excursions, which vary by community based on virus activity within the community, state regulations, and level of care. In all levels of living, state directives supersede new procedures. Information on what we are preparing for residents and families was shared at our May 28th Family Town Hall Webinar which you can view here.
This is an unprecedented time, and every decision we make is with the health and happiness of residents, families, and team members in mind. We are diligently planning, resourcing materials, and training staff on the new operational procedures. We appreciate your patience and understanding as it will take some time to implement these new guidelines. Please contact us at info@villagioliving.com with any questions.
While we are overjoyed that residents can enjoy greater freedoms and in-person family visits, we are still facing a virus that disproportionally affects older adults. We ask that everyone continue to do all they can to stay healthy and be mindful of the risk of exposure to this virus. Residents must stay well for our community to be well.
Thank you for your continued support as we celebrate residents and families as they make new memories!
