Opening up Our Community – June 22, 2020

Many state and county governments are releasing plans to reopen the economy to essential businesses.  While this is an encouraging sign, please know this process will be thoughtfully considered at Sedgebrook. We will implement a multi-phased approach when reopening our community.  As we serve vulnerable adults throughout our community, Sedgebrook’s reopening phases may differ than the state’s or county’s phased approach. We will base decisions for each phase on state and regional criteria, advice from public health officials, and the health status of our community.  We will evaluate how we shift our protocols after we know our community is no longer at risk, and with careful consideration of the guidance offered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and local and state health departments

We are all looking forward to the day when we can resume our lives as a community and gather with our friends, yet the health and safety of residents and employees must remain our highest priority. From the beginning, we have taken on this challenge as a marathon rather than a sprint. There are no short cuts or easy answers to how we reduce our risk to COVID-19 and it’s as important as ever that we continue to remain focused on protecting ourselves and supporting each other.  

In the upcoming weeks, and until further notice, Sedgebrook will continue to follow the heightened precautionary measures currently in place. These practices include following social distancing protocols, wearing masks, and visitation restrictions. We understand the risks posed to our community from COVID-19 and remain committed to our processes. As the situation evolves, and we make changes to our protocols, residents, employees and families will be notified. 

Thank you for your patience, your support, and for embodying the hopeful spirit that Sedgebrook is known for as we continue to navigate this process together.  If you have specific questions, please contact (847) 876-2100. For more information about COVID-19 and our national response to COVID-19, go to https://www.lcsnet.com/covid-19-update/.
