The Wesbury Response to COVID-19

The following procedures are designed to mitigate the spread of the virus.

  • A designated internal COVID-19 response team meets as needed.
  • We collaborate with community leaders and regulatory authorities to review our processes and make adjustments where necessary.
  • Visitors and staff are provided with the appropriate protective equipment when indicated.
  • Visitors who are visiting multiple residents should visit residents on precautions last.
  • Resident windows are not to be approached due to visitor safety and patient privacy.
  • The Life Enrichment/Activities teams provide activity while adhering to social distancing and guidelines.
  • Tours of Grace, Cribbs, Thoburn Village, and Vernon Square are offered. To schedule a tour call 814-332-9009.

When a positive case occurs, public health officials are notified and procedures recommended by the CDC and Department of Health are implemented.

  • Positive Residents are isolated.
  • Doors to the entrance of affected neighborhoods are closed to restrict the area and are put on the proper precautions.
  • Staff providing care or services for residents on transmission based precautions utilize personal protective equipment (PPE) .
  • Ongoing testing will continue as required.
  • CDC, CMS and Department of health quarantine guidelines are followed for Covid positive staff and residents.
