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 increased to high, again; but the positivity rate has decreased to 3.06%.  This is still good news, 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
