Enhanced Safety Measures and Initiatives

Safety Measures During COVID-19

Dear Edgewood Family & Friends:

Our number one priority has always been and will continue to be the health and safety of our residents and staff. During this global COVID-19 outbreak, Edgewood Healthcare has implemented multiple proactive and increasingly enhanced safety measures and restrictions.

Edgewood has consistently been on the forefront, leading the industry in an effort to prevent the virus’s entry into any of our Edgewood communities or the multitude of other healthcare entities we partner with. We’re continually monitoring recommendations issued by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the multiple Departments of Health in all the respective states in which we operate, as well as many local city and county agencies. Our protocols continue to evolve as we navigate this ever-changing situation. 

Below are examples of the enhanced safety measures we’ve taken across the company, with even stricter protocols being followed in several locations. We understand this is a difficult time for everyone, and many of these safety measures make life as we know it very different, but we’re confident they’re the best way to keep your loved ones healthy and happy, until we can all be together again!

Since receiving early notifications regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, Edgewood Healthcare has taken swift and definitive action, and will continue to do so as we navigate all the unknowns of our current situation. We appreciate your continued support as we work to best serve our residents and staff members during these uncertain times.

Edgewood continues to encourage families and friends to use alternate means of visiting virtually with their senior loved ones, through the use of FaceTime, Skype or other video communication technologies. Please reach out to coordinate a virtual visit or for more information.
