COVID-19 and Long Term Care

Samaritan understands that long term care residents and their families have heightened concerns about COVID-19, and we are here to alleviate those concerns as much as possible. Our two long term care facilities, Samaritan Keep Home and Samaritan Summit Village, are committed to the safety of residents and staff and have been following all recommendations from the New York State Department of Health since the outbreak of COVID-19.

Scroll down to read about some of the safety measures we have taken at our facilities.

• General Safety Measures Close
  • Universal masking and eyewear protocols are in place. Staff at all Samaritan facilities are wearing medical-grade face masks and goggles or face shields to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and have been doing so for several weeks. Residents are also provided a medical-grade mask if they leave the facility for a medical appointment.
  • Social distancing is being practiced at all Samaritan facilities, and activities for residents have only been held on floors in limited size.
  • Upgraded cleaning procedures are being used, and long term care facilities received regular deep sanitizing. Watch the video below to learn more about cleaning and disinfection at Samaritan.

• Screening and Testing Close

  Anyone who enters a Samaritan facility is screened for symptoms of COVID-19 and has his/her temperature checked. Long term care residents also receive temperature checks every eight hours as an added precaution.

  

  Any individual who shows symptoms of COVID-19 receives an expedited test and remains isolated while awaiting results. All staff at long term care facilities are tested weekly for COVID-19 to ensure no asymptomatic cases arise.
