Waveny LifeCare Network COVID-19 Daily Update
for Residents, Patients, and Families

We would like to thank our families, clinical partners and broader community for their ongoing collaboration and support. Our concerted effort, combined with our daily enforcement of stringent clinical safety, care, recovery, and testing standards is helping us minimize the spread of the COVID-19 virus.  

We continue to take extensive measures to support the health and wellness of our residents including: proactive preventive and diagnostic care of Patients and Residents, vigilant sanitary maintenance of our community thorough weekly cleanings by emergency restoration company SERVPRO, continuous staff screening prior to each shift, sending any employee home to await test results if they show symptoms of illness, mandated  use of Personal Protective Equipment by all Village, Care Center, Inn and Home Care staff while at work, and close compliance with CDC, DPH and local health authorities operating  directives.
