“When the virus came up, one of the issues was, we were quarantining at home, so where could we go? We didn’t want to go out to a restaurant, but we had to do our grocery shopping and to the hardware store, which we were reluctant to do. So, when we came over here, we felt more safe and secure here because they provided meals for us and we didn’t have to grocery shop. Anything we wanted done for us was done. If something in the apartment needed fixed, we just call maintenance. We didn’t have to worry about being out in the public with the virus. When our children would call us and ask us if we need anything, we tell them ‘No thank you. We’re all taken care of.’ We couldn’t actually wait to get here during the virus.” – Bob Bram, Resident at Friendship Village Sunset Hills
As Friendship Village, along with the rest of the world, continues to face the challenges of living with and preventing the spread of COVID-19, we are constantly vigilant. Our residents and our staff all work together every single day, doing the critical, little things to thrive and stay safe. So, in all ways, we URGE all Residents and Staff to adhere to prevention protocols, which are:
- Wear a close-fitting mask at all times when not in living units, including on or off campus
- Hash hands or hand-sanitize frequently
- Maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet from others
- Avoid making contact with others
- If symptoms are detected, immediately contact your Care Navigator
