KING STREET REHAB PLANNING & OPERATIONAL PROTOCOL

King Street Rehab views each and every resident, their loved ones and our devoted staff of caregivers as our extended family and we recognize that this is truly a team effort that has required sacrifice, commitment and understanding by so many and so, we cannot understate our thanks and appreciation to everyone for their contributions and sacrifice as we work together to overcome this crisis.

FAMILY COMMUNICATION:

Family communication remains our priority. As always, family members are contacted by staff for any changes in residents’ condition, and they can call the resident’s/patient’s social worker or nurse manager for updates on their loved ones. We are also promoting phone calls & virtual visits for family members due to the restriction. If you would like to arrange a phone call or virtual visit with a patient/resident in the nursing home, please call your Receptionist, or reception@kingstreetrehab.com and a staff member will be in touch to coordinate the virtual visit/call.

VISITATION GUIDELINES

It is of utmost importance to us that family continue to have access to their loved ones who are residents at King Street Rehab. As you know, we have strived to provide as many options and forums to maintain that connection, while at the same time safeguarding our residents and staff.

As many of you already know, nursing homes are allowed to resume limited visitation once the facility has been without COVID-19 among residents and staff for at least 28 days. As of now, we are NOT accepting visitors. However, we will inform you as soon as we are able to meet the NYS Visitation guidelines.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

We have closely followed The Centers for Disease Control and New York State guidelines and continue to ramp up infection prevention and control procedures building wide; take daily temperature readings of staff at the start of each shift. Monitor our residents throughout each shift for respiratory symptoms, temperature and vital signs, suspended communal and group activities; provided residents with room service for meals and recreational therapies in their rooms; restricted visitor access as directed. At the same time, we have taken steps to provide all staff with the recommended personal protective equipment (PPE) in an on-going effort to promote their safety and well-being. We have also hired additional staff and have staff returning to King Street Rehab who are eager to provide you a with standard of care you have come to expect for your loved ones.
