Dear Family-
To date, we do not have any cases of Coronavirus (COVID-19) at A.G. Rhodes. With the number of cases increasing every day in our surrounding communities, including in other senior care communities and nursing homes, we must be prepared for cases to emerge at A.G. Rhodes.
If we do have residents who are diagnosed, we anticipate that our overcrowding hospitals may not be able to accommodate them. As such, our preparation includes identifying an area of the building that would be dedicated to care for residents who are diagnosed with COVID-19. This may result in temporarily reassigning some resident rooms. This has not happened yet, but because this is a rapidly evolving situation, we felt it was important that we update you now on our potential plans.
This is a difficult time and the measures we’ve taken—and may be forced to take going forward—are not ideal, but your loved one’s health and well-being is at the core of each decision we make. Providing compassionate care is what we’ve done for more than 115 years, and we will continue to provide compassionate care during and long after these challenging times.
We will continue to update you as this situation progresses, and you can follow our updates and other Coronavirus-related information on our website: www.agrhodes.org.
