Dear Residents, Families and Employees: 

I am very happy to share with you that we have experienced no new cases of COVID-19 over the past two weeks.  As a result, we will stop testing staff on a weekly basis, and stop testing residents.  The transmission rate in Philadelphia has reduced to substantial with a positivity rate of 4.1%.  This is all good news and would make us believe we are heading in the right direction, but the parameters for visiting have not changed and we ask that you please be thoughtful when coming for a visit.

There are still limitations that will be effective:

• Visitors who have a positive COVID-19 test, symptoms of COVID-19 or currently meet the criteria for quarantine (exposed, potentially positive) should not enter the community. 
• Hand hygiene is required.
• Face mask covering the mouth and nose is required.
• Six feet distance between people is required.
• All visitors (Health Center,  Personal Care and Independent Living) must enter through the only entrance – main entrance and be screened on entrance.
• All visitors are strongly encouraged to have their COVID-19 vaccination or to receive the COVID-19 vaccination. 
• Non-vaccinated visitors are encouraged to conduct visits outdoors (weather permitting).
• Room visits are permitted, IF both roommates are vaccinated and neither resident is immunocompromised (regardless of vaccination).

I am again attaching the visiting educational guidelines for your review.  Please take time to read

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me directly at the email address slachman@wesleyenhancedliving.org or by phone at 267.348.3340. 

Sincerely,

Suzanne H. Lachman, LNHA

Executive Director
