As of February 19, 2021, Wellsprings of Gilbert has no guests, located on our quarantine pod, and no staff member, who are not scheduled to work until they can safely return, who have tested positive for COVID-19. We have two pods in our center; one is a designated quarantine pod, and the other is for guests to transfer to after a successful 14-day quarantine period; these pods are not contiguous.
It is our highest priority to do everything we can to prevent exposure to COVID-19. We remain committed to the recommended preventative actions we already have in place under the guidance of our medical director, Dr. Bermeo.
We continue to offer the monoclonal infusion – Bamlanivimab (BAM) by Eli Lilly to the clinically appropriate guests. There is a defined checklist and assessments that are completed, the physician order and authorizations. It’s very exciting to be able to offer this to our COVID-19 positive guests who have mild to moderate symptoms.
It is our desire to communicate with the community regularly and in real time as we continue to live out our mission of care and compassion so our guests may fully “Live Again”. As of January 20, 2021, we a new position to communicate directly with family members for updates. This position is staffed Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 5:30 pm. If you have questions, please call 480-729-6500 and ask for the “Guest Relations Specialist.”
As Maricopa County continues to be in the “substantial community spread” category, we cannot allow visitors inside our center at this time. However, we strongly encourage families to schedule a phone call or virtual visit with your family member. If you need assistance with a virtual call/visit, please reach out to the center directly at 480-729-6500 Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm to schedule with our team.
We continue to stay in regular communication with the health department and hospital systems to ensure we are providing the best care and following all protocols to keep our residents, families, and staff members safe. Additionally, we continue to follow all policies and practices set forth by state and federal officials.
Our next, and final, COVID-19 vaccine clinic with Walgreens Pharmacy is scheduled for February 23, 2021.
Thank you for your continued cooperation, as we partner together, to limit exposure to COVID-19.
