Visits in the common areas are still not available.

Safety Measures

• Dosberg Manor is taking every step recommended by authorities to protect residents and employees. We are monitoring updated guidance and immediately implement new protocols suggested by local and state public health officials and the CDC.
• Residents who are positive or under investigation for COVID-19 are in quarantine to minimize the chance for the virus to spread. Staff members interacting with these residents are using recommended precautions to protect the residents and themselves from spreading the virus, including the use of additional personal protective equipment. Compassionate care visits can be arranged at any time by contacting the Case Manager.
• All residents are screened for fevers once daily and monitored for signs and symptoms for the virus on every shift.
• All employees are screened daily. This includes taking their temperature and asking screening questions. If employees are ill they are required to stay home. Employees wear masks at all times.
• Science-based, comprehensive disinfection practices include a pulsed UV disinfection system proven to eliminate pathogens such as coronavirus from surfaces in seconds. This cutting-edge technology is used in many hospitals. We also practice a 7-step disinfection process that follows CDC infection control guidance using hospital-grade disinfectants.
• Face masks are provided to residents when they are in common areas, and residents also practice social distancing by staying a minimum of 6 feet away from others.
