Oakview Medical Care Facility February 2022
Greetings Residents and Families!
I wish I could communicate that COVID was on the decline, but the
facts are that COVID is still with us and transmission in Mason
County is high with 33.84% positivity rate as of January 24, 2022.
Oakview is currently in Outbreak with our last positive employee
reported on January 24th. We will continue with testing 2x per
week for everyone until out of outbreak, which is 14 days without a
positive. We urge all residents to wear their masks when out of
their rooms and in company of others. We require all visitors to
wear their masks at all times when in Oakview. Together we can
keep each other healthy and safe!
Exciting News! We have opened the Sutter Living Center again. It
has been over a year since we moved residents out to accommodate
a resident COVID outbreak. It certainly feels good to be moving
back in and watching all the smiling faces! We also moved around
some residents on the general side of Oakview to clear out rooms to
provide an observation area and keep empty rooms together to
correspond with our current staffing numbers. We are carefully
managing our occupancy to assure Oakview is in the best financial
position possible in these difficult times.
As a reminder, all visitors continue to be required to screen in and
out of the Accushield system. There is an Accushield located in the
front lobby for those visiting residents on the general side of
Oakview and there is an Accushield located in the vestibule of the
visitor entrance of the Sutter Living Center. Please remember to
wear your sticker at all times when in the building.
Take care,
Jannice Lamm
Oakview Administrator
