Weekly Updates: November 1, 2024

Dear Grand Oaks Residents and Families,

Happy Friday and welcome to the first day of November! As we embrace this new month, I hope you’ve enjoyed the beautiful weather we’ve had this past week. Don’t forget that Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday, November 3rd, so remember to set your clocks back an hour. Take some time this weekend to enjoy the fresh air and the stunning colors of the changing leaves.

Even though National Residents’ Rights Month has come to an end, I want to encourage you to continue knowing your rights and letting your voice be heard. Your rights are important every day, and your voice matters in making our community a better place. We had a great week at Grand Oaks, especially with our wonderful Halloween party yesterday. Thank you to everyone who came dressed up—you all looked amazing and your creativity was truly inspiring!

Updates and Upcoming Events:

Activities Planning Committee: A heartfelt thank you to the residents who participated in the activities planning for the upcoming winter months. Your contributions are greatly appreciated, and your partnership in working with me to create and design a resident-centered program is truly valued. I am currently organizing the ideas we discussed and will share the finalized plan with everyone soon. If you have any additional suggestions or if you are not part of the planning committee but have ideas for activities, please feel free to share them with us.

Lunch Outing: One of the exciting ideas suggested was to have restaurant outings, and our first lunch outing will be to Claudio’s Table. We will be going out on Tuesday, November 19th. This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a meal out with friends, and I’ve attached a flyer with more details about the outing. We hope you can join us for this fun event!

Veterans Day Ceremony: November 11th is just around the corner, and we are looking forward to honoring our veterans with a special Veterans Day Pinning Ceremony. We will have great music and a slideshow celebrating our veterans. If you weren’t here during last year’s ceremony or if you would like to provide additional information about your experience as a veteran, please reach out to Jordan Asrat at yasrat1@jhmi.edu or by phone at (202) 660-7881. We can’t wait to honor the brave men and women who have served our country.

Thanksgiving Day Luncheon: Our annual Thanksgiving Day Luncheon is just a few weeks away. Executive Chef Andrew and his team, along with the dining staff, have planned a special Thanksgiving luncheon experience for you, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you.

Weekly Updates: October 18, 2024

Dear Grand Oaks Residents and Families,

Happy Friday! It’s been a full and vibrant week here at Grand Oaks. From our successful vaccine clinic to the delightful Senior Cinema outing at the Avalon Theatre, we’ve had a lot going on. I hope you enjoyed these activities and are ready for more exciting events ahead.

As we continue to observe Residents’ Rights Month, I want to build on what we discussed last week. Understanding and exercising your rights is not just about knowing them; it’s about feeling empowered to use them. Your rights are the foundation of your dignity and autonomy within our community. They ensure that you have a say in your care, that your preferences are respected, and that you are treated with the utmost respect and consideration.

Knowing your rights means you can make informed decisions about your care and living conditions. It means you can speak up if something doesn’t feel right or if you need something to change. Your voice matters immensely, and it is a powerful tool in advocating for yourself and others. When you understand your rights, you are better equipped to ensure that your needs and wishes are met.

I encourage you to be proactive in learning about your rights and to feel confident in expressing your needs and concerns. Whether it’s about your daily care, your living environment, or any other aspect of your life here at Grand Oaks, you have the right to be heard and to have your preferences honored. Don’t hesitate to ask questions, seek information, and speak up. Your well-being is our top priority, and we are here to support you in every way possible.

To help you with this, I have attached a copy of the Residents’ Rights for your reference. Please take some time to review it and keep it handy. If you have any questions or need further clarification, our team is always here to assist you.

Earlier this week, one of our residents in Oasis, our memory care neighborhood, tested positive for COVID-19. We are committed to the safety and well-being of everyone at Grand Oaks.

To further minimize the spread of the virus:

Weekly Updates: August 23, 2024

Dear Grand Oaks Residents and Families,

Happy Friday! This week has been a testament to the strength and unity of our Grand Oaks community. Your continued cooperation and positive spirit make all the difference as we navigate these times together. I understand how difficult it has been with the precautions in place, and I appreciate your efforts in helping us minimize the spread of COVID-19 at Grand Oaks.

As we continue to prioritize the health and safety of our community, I want to provide you with the latest updates and information, including some important non-COVID related news.

COVID-19 Update:

 Earlier this week, we had one new positive case in the Assisted Living neighborhood. However, several residents who tested positive in previous weeks have now completed their quarantine and isolation periods. This brings our current total to two positive cases, including the new case from this week. We remain vigilant and committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone at Grand Oaks.

Looking Ahead: If we continue to see no new cases, we anticipate lifting the social distancing restrictions on August 28. Additionally, the mask mandate for staff and visitors will be lifted on Saturday, August 31. We remain committed to taking extra precautions to keep everyone safe.

Precautionary Measures:

  • Masking: Masks remain available at the concierge desk, and we strongly recommend that residents wear them when outside their rooms. Our staff and visitors are also required to wear masks to minimize the risk of transmission.
  • Dining Arrangements: To maintain social distancing, we have adjusted the seating in our dining room. Visitors are not allowed to join residents for meals in the dining room, but you can still enjoy meals together in the resident’s apartment. Our Dining team is dedicated to ensuring that everyone is comfortable and safe with these new arrangements.
  • Group Activities: All group activities have been relocated to the Commons to ensure proper social distancing. Large group activities in the Assisted Living neighborhood, such as the Resident Forum, cocktail hours, and non-medical outings, remain on hold. We continue to monitor the situation closely and will resume these social activities as soon as it is safe to do so. Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated.

Health Monitoring:

We are vigilant in monitoring residents for any symptoms. If you experience any symptoms, please report them to your nurse immediately. For any questions or concerns, you can contact our Director of Nursing, Jill Youens, at jyouens1@jhu.edu or reach out to our wellness team at 202-349-3424.

Catered Dinners:

Due to an unforeseen shortage of cooks, we will be having catered dinners tonight and on Saturday night. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. Regular meals will resume starting Sunday.

Labor Day Celebration:

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting both an outdoor and an indoor Labor Day celebration on September 2, 2024, from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM. This will be a wonderful opportunity to come together and enjoy a BBQ. Please see the flyer for more details. We look forward to celebrating with you.

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation. Have a wonderful weekend!

Weekly Updates: August 16, 2024

Dear Grand Oaks Residents and Families,

Happy Friday! As we wrap up another week, I want to express my gratitude for your continued cooperation and understanding during these challenging times. Your support and resilience are truly appreciated.

COVID-19 Update: We are committed to keeping everyone at Grand Oaks safe and healthy. This week, we have identified one additional COVID-positive resident in the Assisted Living neighborhood, bringing our total to four. Thankfully, the Oasis department remains unaffected. We continue to take every precaution to ensure the well-being of our community.

In line with DC Health policy, we continue to implement several measures to safeguard our residents and staff. Our contact tracing efforts are ongoing to identify anyone who may have been exposed to the virus. We are following a three-step testing process for residents who have been exposed, which includes initial testing, follow-up testing, and a final confirmation test to ensure accurate results. Additionally, our team is rigorously disinfecting high-touch areas throughout the facility to minimize the risk of transmission.

Dining Room:

To enhance safety, we continue to adjust the dining room seating for social distancing. Dining room seating arrangements are as follows:

  • 2-top tables: 1 person per table
  • 4-top tables: 2 people per table
  • 6-top tables: 3 people per table

Our Dining team is here to assist with these new arrangements to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe.

Group Activities:

All group activities have been relocated to the Commons to ensure proper social distancing. However, our large group activities in the Assisted Living neighborhood are still on hold for now. This includes the Resident Forum, the Wednesday and Saturday 4:30 PM cocktail hour, non-medical outings, shopping trips that require residents to leave the Grand Oaks bus, The Book Club, and the Resident Discussion Group.

In order to keep the Oasis residents safe, we have also put on hold the Friday Luncheon in the Assisted Living dining room and the Catholic Mass in the Assisted Living chapel, which Oasis residents typically attend. Our goal is to continue to keep the Oasis neighborhood COVID-free, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation in these efforts.

We are closely monitoring the situation, and as soon as we can safely resume these social activities, we will do so. I understand the importance of these gatherings for your loved ones, and we’re committed to reinstating them when conditions permit. For a detailed activities schedule, please refer to the weekly activity schedule for Assisted Living and the weekly activity schedule for the Oasis neighborhood. 

Mandatory Masking:

While masks remain mandatory for staff and visitors, we strongly recommend residents wear masks when outside their rooms. Masks are available at the concierge desk, and residents can also ask any staff member to bring them a mask if they are unable to go to the front desk.

We are closely monitoring residents for any symptoms and ensuring their well-being. If you or your loved ones experience any symptoms, please report them to our wellness team immediately. For any questions or concerns, you can contact our Director of Nursing, Jill Youens, at jyouens1@jhu.edu or reach out to our wellness team at 202-349-3424.

Thank you for your continued understanding and cooperation. Have a great weekend!

Weekly Updates: August 9, 2024

Dear Grand Oaks Residents and Families,

Happy Friday! I hope you’ve all managed well through the rain. With the weekend ahead, it looks like we’ll have some lovely weather to enjoy. It’s a good time to relax or take a stroll around our beautiful grounds.

Grand Oaks Book Club: Celebrating Our Resident Author:

This month, The Grand Oaks Residents Book Club is proud to showcase “Paying Calls in Shangri-La,” a literary treasure authored by one of our own residents. It’s not every day that we get to read a book by someone we know, and it’s even more special that they’re part of our Grand Oaks family. For those members of the Book Club who have yet to obtain their copy, please see me, Jordan Asrat, on Monday. If you’re thinking about joining the club, they meet on the second Thursday of every month in the commons at 1:30 pm. It’s a great way to meet other residents and explore new stories together.

COVID Update:

In line with our commitment to health and transparency, we want to inform you that one of our assisted living residents has tested positive for COVID-19. We are taking this situation very seriously and have initiated several steps to protect and care for our residents. All individuals who were potentially exposed have been identified and have received their first round of COVID-19 testing. They will be tested again in accordance with the recommended schedule to ensure everyone’s safety. Residents who have been exposed are permitted to continue their normal activities unless they test positive. We are diligently working to maintain the health and safety of our community and are closely monitoring developments. Masks are available at the concierge desk, and we encourage their use. Should you have any questions or require assistance, please reach out to our Director of Nursing, Jill Youens, at jyouens1@jhu.edu, or contact our wellness team at 202-349-3424.

As we look forward to the weekend, I want to remind everyone that your health, safety, and happiness are our highest priorities. We are here to support you, to listen, and to respond to your needs. Please never hesitate to reach out if you have any concerns or questions, or if you just need a friendly chat. Know that we’re ready to listen and help in any way we can.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

I trust this week has been favorable to you and that you are ready for a weekend of relaxation.

Dear Grand Oaks Residents and Families,

Happy Friday to you all! As we step into Memorial Day weekend, I want to extend my warmest regards to each and every one of you.

Weekly Updates: May 3, 2024

Dear Grand Oaks Residents and families,

Happy Friday, everyone! May has arrived, bringing with it the vibrant blooms and lush greenery that herald the heart of spring. This season of renewal is a perfect time to reflect on growth and well-being, not just in our gardens, but also within our lives.

Mental well-being is foundational to enjoying life at any age, but it becomes particularly crucial as we step into our golden years. For seniors, especially those in assisted living environments like Grand Oaks, maintaining mental health can present unique challenges. Emotional well-being influences every aspect of life, from how we engage with loved ones to our enthusiasm for daily activities.

Promoting Self-Care and Well-Being

Self-care plays a crucial role in managing mental health. “Engaging in meaningful social activities and maintaining personal routines can significantly impact the mental health of older adults,” highlights Sarah Wilson, Senior Care Specialist. Here are some proven self-care strategies:

  • Stay Active: Regular physical activity helps boost mood and reduce anxiety.
  • Connect with Others: Social interactions can reduce feelings of loneliness and enhance a sense of belonging.
  • Pursue Hobbies: Engaging in activities you love can bring joy and satisfaction.
  • Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle: Balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, and hydration are essential for mental health.

In line with promoting mental health awareness, we’re excited to announce that on Monday, May 13 at 3:30 pm, two mental health professionals will be joining us at Grand Oaks for a presentation on Older Adults and Mental Health. They will provide valuable resources and share ways our residents can manage their mental health effectively.

As we enjoy the beauty of May and its blossoming flowers, let’s also prioritize our mental well-being, especially during National Mental Health Month. This reminds us of the importance of mental wellness and provides an opportunity for meaningful discussions about mental health. We’re here to support you in every way we can. If you ever need assistance or someone to talk to, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Remember, staying socially engaged is vital for your overall well-being, so we encourage you to participate in activities like group exercise classes, art classes, social gatherings, or simply joining a friend for a meal.

Wishing you a restful weekend, nurturing your mental well-being in May’s beauty.

Weekly Updates: April 26, 2024

Dear Grand Oaks Residents and families,

Happy Friday, everyone! Can you believe we’re already bidding farewell to April? Time flies when you’re enjoying life at Grand Oaks. Yesterday was such a delight as we celebrated Bring Your Kids to Work Day. The children’s energy and excitement brought an extra sparkle to our community.

Throughout the day, the children joined in various activities, from creating art with our residents to bouncing around in the moon bounce. We wrapped up the day with a lively party where residents and children danced, sang, and savored some tasty treats. These moments remind us of the special warmth and spirit that make Grand Oaks feel like home.

Now, as we move forward, there are a few important updates I’d like to share with you.

New Team Member: Introducing SylviaGrace Shaw-Thompson, Our New Oasis RN Coordinator!

I’m thrilled to introduce SylviaGrace Shaw-Thompson, who has joined our Grand Oaks team as our Oasis RN Coordinator! With over two decades of extensive clinical experience, Sylvia brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our community. She holds not one, but three degrees from West Virginia University: a BA in International Affairs, a BS in Agricultural Microbiology, and a BS in Nursing.

Throughout her remarkable career, Sylvia has demonstrated exceptional skills and dedication in various healthcare settings, including in-patient, out-patient, and residential clinical settings, as well as in roles as an educator. Her vast clinical background underscores her commitment to excellence in patient care and her invaluable contribution to our team.

Sylvia will be a valuable addition to our Oasis department, where she’ll bring her passion for compassionate care and her wealth of clinical experience to enhance the well-being of our residents. Since joining us earlier this week, Sylvia has hit the ground running. She has been actively engaging with our Oasis residents and staff, taking the time to familiarize herself with our community and our processes. Her dedication and enthusiasm are truly commendable, and we are excited to see the positive impact she will have on our community. Please join me in extending the warmest of welcomes to Sylvia! If you’d like to connect with her or have any questions, feel free to reach out at 202-660-5184 or via email at sshawth1@jh.edu.

Water Shut Off: Southside only

Tomorrow, Saturday, April 27th, the Southside part of the Grand Oaks building will experience temporary water shut off from 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM. This shutdown is necessary as we will be updating the circulating pump to improve the hot water system. Please be aware that only residents living on the south side will be affected. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to enhance our facilities.

COVID Update:
Earlier this week, two residents in our assisted living neighborhood tested positive for COVID-19. Please be assured that we are taking all necessary precautions to prevent any further spread of the virus. Our team has implemented enhanced cleaning protocols, strict adherence to infection control measures, and regular testing for both residents.

Your safety remains our top priority, and we are closely monitoring the situation while working closely with the DC Department of Health. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your own well-being or that of your loved ones, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Jill Youens, our Director of Nursing, at jyouens1@jhu.edu. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during these challenging times.

Happy Friday and warmest wishes for a wonderful weekend ahead!

Weekly Updates: April 5, 2024

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday! It’s a pleasure to reconnect with you as we wrap up another productive week, and you’re all looking forward to a relaxing and enjoyable weekend ahead. Your continued support and engagement are truly appreciated, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to connect with you once again and share some Tech Safety Tips and upcoming events.

Technology Safety:

As part of our ongoing commitment to your safety and security, I want to address a matter of great importance: protecting yourself from online scams, particularly those targeting senior citizens. Scammers often prey on older adults, taking advantage of their trusting nature and limited familiarity with technology. It’s crucial to stay vigilant and informed to avoid falling victim to these schemes.

Here are some of the scams you should watch out for.

  • Tech Support Scams: If you encounter a problem with your printer, email, computer, or other electronic device, avoid Googling and calling numbers you find online for companies like Microsoft, HP, or Google support. Scammers frequently impersonate tech support agents from such companies. They may request access to your computer to resolve the issue, but ultimately exploit your trust. Instead, contact the front desk and inform them that your computer or device is not working, and request tech support assistance.
  • Phishing Emails: Phishing refers to fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details, by disguising as a trustworthy entity in electronic communication. Be cautious of emails that seem to be from reputable sources but are actually attempts to steal your personal information. Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from suspicious emails. Instead, delete it immediately or seek verification from a trusted source.
  • Social Media Scams: Scammers may create fake profiles or impersonate friends or family members on social media platforms to gain your trust and deceive you into sending money or personal information. Be cautious of friend requests or messages from unfamiliar individuals, especially if they solicit money or sensitive information.
  • Safe Cell Phone Usage: Beware of scam calls or text messages that appear authentic. Always verify the authenticity of such communications by contacting the organization directly using contact information from their official website or documents.
  • Romance Scams: Exercise caution when forming online relationships, especially if the other party requests money or personal details. Take your time to get to know someone before sharing sensitive information or providing financial assistance.
  • Grandparent Scams: Be vigilant if someone claiming to be a family member requests money urgently. Verify their identity by reaching out to other family members. Scammers often exploit emotions, so take a moment to confirm before taking any action.

For any further assistance with your phone, email, internet safety, or any other device, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, Jordan Asrat, at yasrat1@jhmi.edu. Remember, our Tech Support sessions are scheduled every Tuesday and Thursday. To sign up for assistance, simply contact the concierge at 202-349-3400. If you encounter an urgent issue that simply cannot wait until those days, please feel free to contact the concierge, who will promptly connect you with me. I’m here to address your urgent computer concerns from Monday to Friday, between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM.

Upcoming Events and Holidays:

Looking ahead to the weeks ahead, Grand Oaks is filled with anticipation for our upcoming events and celebrations! We have an exciting lineup planned, including the Bring Your Kids to Work Carnival, as well as special observances for Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Father’s Day, the 4th of July, and Labor Day.

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday, everyone! As the weekend approaches, I wanted to take a moment to wish a happy Easter to those of you who will be celebrating this Sunday. May your festivities be filled with joy and laughter, surrounded by loved ones. Whether you’re observing Easter, spending time with family, enjoying quiet moments, or embarking on new adventures, I hope your weekend is nothing short of wonderful.

For those joining us for Easter Sunday, we are excited to share this special occasion with you. We eagerly anticipate celebrating together with delightful food, live music, and joyful moments.

I am delighted to share some fantastic news with all of you. Over the past three months, our dedicated team has completed a comprehensive dementia care training program. This training is essential for equipping our staff with the knowledge and skills required to provide exceptional care tailored to the unique needs of our residents living with dementia.

Dementia presents challenges for both individuals and their caregivers. By staying abreast of the latest research and best practices in dementia care, our staff can effectively connect and engage with our residents on a deeper level. This training empowers our team to navigate the complexities of dementia with confidence and empathy, ultimately enhancing the overall quality of life for our residents.

Our commitment to ongoing education in dementia care is paramount. By continuously improving our knowledge and skills, we can ensure that our residents receive the highest standard of care possible. This dedication not only promotes independence and dignity for our residents but also fosters a nurturing and supportive environment within our community.

As always, your feedback and suggestions are invaluable to us. If there’s anything you’d like to share or any way we can enhance your experience at Grand Oaks, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Wishing you all a Happy Easter and a wonderful weekend ahead.

New Update

Accushield Sign-In/Out Update:

In an effort to streamline the sign-in process, we have revised our Accushield kiosk questions this week. Visitors will still be required to attest to COVID exposure and symptoms, but we have eliminated the secondary attestation. We value your courtesy and cooperation as we strive to uphold the highest standards of safety for everyone in the community. Remember, visitor badges must always be visible while you are on the premises. Additionally, please remember to sign out via the kiosk when exiting the community.

Thank you for your attention to the latest update regarding the Accushield sign-in/out process. Your cooperation in adhering to these changes is greatly appreciated and contributes to the safety and well-being of our community. As always, your commitment to maintaining a secure environment exemplifies the spirit of Grand Oaks. Should you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. Have a wonderful weekend filled with relaxation and rejuvenation.

Weekly Updates: February 2, 2024
Dear Residents and Family,

Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a wonderful week and a great start to February. As we enter this new month, let’s take a moment to acknowledge the significance of Black History Month. It’s an opportunity to honor the rich history, achievements, and contributions of Black individuals who have shaped our society. At Grand Oaks, inclusivity is fundamental, valuing each individual’s unique perspectives and talents. Let’s celebrate Black History Month together, embracing the diversity that strengthens us – today and every day.

We are thrilled to share the good news that we haven’t had any additional COVID cases in the community for two weeks. This allows us to return to normal operations as of this morning at 7 am. The mandatory masking requirement for staff and visitors has been lifted. While it’s no longer mandatory, we strongly encourage everyone to continue wearing masks when visiting the community. Masks are available at the concierge desk for your convenience. Seating for meals in the assisted living dining has returned to its usual arrangement, and all programs and activities have resumed their regular schedules and locations. I appreciate your continuous support in maintaining the safety of our Grand Oaks community over the past weeks.

Wishing you and your loved ones a restful weekend. Thank you for being part of the Grand Oaks community. We’re here to support you, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything.

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday! I hope this message finds each of you and your loved ones in good spirits, eagerly anticipating a restful weekend ahead. Your presence within the Grand Oaks Assisted Living community is cherished and deeply valued. As we step into the weekend, let’s acknowledge the significance of your ongoing engagement. Your participation shapes the unique character of Grand Oaks, and we feel honored to be a part of this journey with each of you.

In our clinical update this week, I am pleased to report that we have had no new COVID cases, and all residents who were in isolation or quarantine have successfully completed their periods and resumed normal activities.

As part of our ongoing commitment to everyone’s safety, we will continue to uphold these safety measures into the upcoming week. Dining room seating will remain adjusted, and all activities will continue to be relocated to the commons for social distancing purposes. Large group gatherings and non-medical outings requiring residents to exit the Grand Oaks bus will be temporarily postponed. Masks will remain mandatory for staff and visitors, and we strongly recommend that residents wear masks when outside their rooms. Masks are readily available at the concierge desk for your convenience.

Your commitment to safety and well-being at Grand Oaks is genuinely appreciated. As we navigate the weeks ahead, remember that Grand Oaks is here to support you. Should you have any questions, concerns, or if there’s anything you need assistance with, don’t hesitate to reach out. Your comfort and satisfaction are of utmost importance, and our team is dedicated to ensuring your experience remains exceptional.

Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful weekend. We’re honored to have you as part of the Grand Oaks family

Dear Grand Oaks Family,

Happy Snowy and Cold Friday! Mother Nature has let us know that winter is here to stay.

Clinical Update: COVID-19

This week we had 2 additional residents test positive for COVID. As communicated earlier this week, one of the cases was in our Oasis Memory Care neighborhood.

As part of our commitment to your well-being, non-medical outings requiring residents to exit the Grand Oaks bus are temporarily postponed.

Your continued cooperation and understanding are crucial at this time. These proactive steps, including modifications in our community activities and seating arrangements, reflect our commitment to maintaining a safe environment for everyone.

If you have any questions or concerns about your well-being or your loved one’s COVID status, please feel free to contact our Director of Nursing, Jill Youens, at jyouens1@jhu.edu or reach out to our wellness team at 202-349-3424.

Weekly Updates: January 12, 2024
Dear Grand Oaks Residents and Families,

Happy Friday! As we conclude this week at Grand Oaks, let’s reflect on our collective journey. Drawing inspiration from MLK’s insight, “Life’s journey may lead us to new places and unfamiliar paths. Yet, in each step, we possess the power to create connections, build bridges, and brighten our surroundings with the light of compassion. As we approach the long weekend, including Monday’s MLK Day—a moment for reflection and unity—it’s also an extended opportunity for shared moments and relaxation.”

In our community, your presence and contributions weave a unique tapestry of compassion and togetherness. Each step you take adds to the vibrant story we craft together. As we move into the weekend, let’s carry this warmth forward—nurturing connections and sharing moments of understanding. May your weekend be filled with positivity, introspection, and a genuine sense of belonging.

Now, in the spirit of our shared journey, let’s turn our attention to an update on our community’s well-being. Your health and safety are our utmost priorities, and your continued cooperation and support are invaluable.

Clinical Update: COVID-19

This week, we identified 5 additional residents who tested positive for COVID. All cases have been isolated to the Assisted Living neighborhood. To enhance safety, we’ve adjusted the dining room seating and relocated activities to the Commons for social distancing. As part of our commitment to your well-being, non-medical outings requiring residents to exit the Grand Oaks bus are temporarily postponed.

While masks remain mandatory for staff and visitors, we strongly recommend residents wear masks when outside their rooms. Masks are available at the concierge desk for your convenience. For a detailed activities schedule, please refer to the weekly activity schedule.

Your continued cooperation and understanding are crucial as we navigate these circumstances together. We want to assure our Grand Oaks community and website visitors that we are diligently taking extra measures to protect our residents, staff, and visitors. These proactive steps, including modifications in our community activities and seating arrangements, reflect our commitment to maintaining a safe environment for everyone.

If you have any questions or concerns about your well-being or your loved one’s COVID status, please feel free to contact our Director of Nursing, Jill Youens, at jyouens1@jhu.edu or reach out to our wellness team at 202-349-3424.

Wishing you continued strength and solidarity in our shared journey.

Weekly Updates: January 5, 2024
Dear Grand Oaks Residents and Families,

Happy Friday! As we approach the weekend, I extend my warmest wishes to each of you for a weekend filled with joy and a deep sense of calm.

Now, turning to important matters within our community, I want to emphasize the significance of our new mandatory masking policy, effective January 5, 2024, at 7:00 am. This decision is a proactive response to an increase in illness observed within our community, with two residents testing positive for COVID in our Assisted Living neighborhood.

To prioritize the safety and well-being of everyone at Grand Oaks, all staff and visitors are now required to wear masks while on the premises. While residents have the option to wear masks, our concierge will provide surgical masks for those who prefer to use them. You can easily approach our concierge or any staff member for assistance in obtaining a mask.

Your cooperation and understanding are greatly appreciated as we work together to maintain a safe environment for all. Our clinical team continues to monitor residents for any symptoms of illness. Should you or your loved one exhibit any symptoms, please reach out to our Director of Nursing, Jill Youens, at jyouens1@jhu.edu, or contact the wellness office at 202-349-3424.

As part of our ongoing commitment to your well-being, I urge everyone to take extra precautions. Regularly washing your hands, maintaining social distancing, and wearing masks in shared spaces are crucial steps to safeguard our community’s health. To ensure the safety of everyone, I kindly request that family members and visitors remain at home if they experience any symptoms, preventing any potential spread of illness.

Thank you for your cooperation in prioritizing the health and safety of our beloved community.

Routine Reminders

 Staffing Update

Yesterday marked a bittersweet farewell to two valued members of the Grand Oaks family. Denver Richards, our Maintenance Assistant, retired after more than 20 years of dedicated service at Grand Oaks. The departure that hits closest to home for me is that of my amazing Activities Assistant, Marco Lopez. He has been an integral part of Grand Oaks since 2018 and joined the Activities Department in 2021. Marco has decided to resign from his full-time position and change his status to PRN (as-needed). His last day in his full-time role was Monday, December 25th, 2023.

I want to take a moment to convey the genuine appreciation that residents and staff feel for Denver and Marco. Their unwavering commitment and hard work have made a lasting impact on our community. The overwhelming turnout of residents and staff to bid them farewell speaks volumes about the meaningful connections they forged during their time with us.

As we bid farewell to these valued members, we recognize and honor the significant roles they played in making Grand Oaks the warm and caring community it is. Their impact resonates not only in the memories and stories shared but also in the daily life of our community. While their absence will be felt, we are grateful for the lasting legacy they leave behind. We wish both Marco and Denver the very best in their future endeavors.

Activities Update:

On the Activities Department front, I'd like to update you that the search for a new Activities Assistant is underway. I am working with Sibley HR and the Recruitment team to identify the ideal candidate for the position. In the interim, Adela and I will continue to provide our regular programs in assisted living. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me at yasrat1@jhmi.edu. If you know of someone suitable for the Activities Assistant role, please connect us via email.

It's a sincere privilege to stand alongside each one of you, recognizing the extraordinary individuals you are.

Weekly Updates: October 27, 2023

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday! We had a gorgeous week of warm weather. Our courtyard was busy this week with our residents and staff enjoying the warmer temperatures. Reality will hit us all next week when the temperature begins to dip into the 20s. I encourage everyone to get outside sometime tomorrow before the cool front comes in. 

This week we had one of our most successful flu clinics since my arrival. This year, as we did last year, we combined the flu vaccination with the COVID vaccination. Our plan was to vaccinate both Assisted Living and Oasis by 4:00pm. The team was extremely organized, the Giant pharmacists were wonderful, and I believe all of our residents received their vaccinations by 2:00pm on Monday. Thank you to all of our residents and families for submitting your consent forms timely and to the entire wellness team for such a great event.

I wanted to provide an update on the dining services at Grand Oaks. As we previously communicated, the national staffing shortage has hit our kitchen; we have a couple open positions in the kitchen. We are currently partnering with agency providers to supplement staffing, however they have also been challenged in finding candidates to fill the needs. This week Andrew met with another local staffing agency that we will partner with in hopes of filling current positions. After a long year of working in this changing environment, Andrew is now taking time away on a long planned vacation. The entire dining team is working hard to ensure that all of our residents are taken care of in his absence. We communicated to our residents this week during our Resident Forum meeting that we continue to partner with a local catering company to provide meals in the community. Please reach out to Laurie Henley if you have any specific requests or questions related to dining services.

I also wanted to share that Jessie Charles, our Director of Nursing, is no longer working at Grand Oaks. We have posted this position and are recruiting for her replacement. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns that Jessie was following up on. If you have clinical concerns, please contact the Wellness Office at 202-349-3424 or reach out to either Michelle Hill, Director of Resident Services or Jill Youens, Oasis RN Coordinator.

We continue to be COVID free at this time with no cases in the community for several months. There is currently an uptick of COVID cases in the city, please continue to be mindful of any symptoms and communicate with the wellness office so we can monitor any changes. We also ask that any families experiencing symptoms delay your visits until symptoms have subsided.

We appreciate you allowing us to serve you and your loved ones. Have a wonderful weekend.

Weekly Updates: October 20, 2023

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday!

As we approach the end of another week, I want to take a moment to reflect on the strength and unity that defines our community here at Grand Oaks. Your voices remain crucial in the coming days as we encounter more opportunities to make our voices heard, whether it's advocating for improvements within our community or the support and care we provide for one another. Our shared journey unites us as advocates for the positive change we wish to see.

In line with this unity and the power of your voices, the past two weeks have been a testament to how residents have come together to voice their preferences and needs through various committees. The Theater and Show Committee allowed residents to share their preferences for theater shows, and the Museum and Lunch Committee enabled residents to plan upcoming museum visits and restaurant outings for the next five months. Similarly, the Movie Outing and Showing Committee provided a platform for residents to suggest movies to watch at the theater and a list of preferred movies and documentaries to enjoy at Grand Oaks.

For instance, during the Theater and Show Committee meetings, residents took an active role in selecting preferred shows and performances that they'd like to see at their chosen theaters. During the Museums and Restaurant Luncheon Committee, residents shared their preferences, providing insight into which museums they wish to visit and their restaurant choices for lunch over the next several months. Similarly, during the Movie Theater Outing and In-House Movie Committee meetings, our residents made change occur by actively sharing their preferences in selecting the movies they want to watch at the movie theater and compiled a list of preferred movies and documentaries for me to show in-house at Grand Oaks.

This collaborative effort demonstrates that by expressing your preferences, we can create a community that genuinely reflects your desires and wishes. Thank you to our residents for actively contributing their voices, enabling us to develop a program that truly mirrors your aspirations. I look forward to residents continuing to share their voices during the Internal Events & Holidays Planning Committee next week. Your active participation not only reflects the strength of your voices but also underscores how unity is fostered when everyone's preferences are considered.

Upcoming Update:

COVID Update:

While Grand Oaks has not experienced any active COVID-19 cases in months, we want to remind you to remain vigilant and take care of yourself. It's important to be aware that the surrounding community has seen an uptick in cases. Please continue to follow COVID-19 protocols to ensure your safety and well-being. Your health and safety are our top priorities.

Clinical Reminder: Flu Shots/COVID Vaccine Clinic: Monday, October 23, 2023

This is a reminder that our Residents' Flu and COVID-19 clinic is scheduled for the upcoming Monday, October 23, 2023. The clinic will take place in the Commons, running from 10 am to 3 pm for Assisted Living residents, followed by the administration of vaccinations for Oasis residents and door-to-door service for Assisted Living residents. In collaboration with our Wellness Nurses, Giant Pharmacy will provide the Influenza Vaccine and the Covid-19 Monovalent Vaccine. Vaccines will be administered by floors. For specific details about the clinic's logistics, please refer to the attached flyer. We extend our gratitude to all those who have already submitted their vaccine consent forms to the wellness team. If you have any additional questions or concerns regarding the vaccines, please don't hesitate to reach out to the wellness office at (202) 349-3424 or contact Jessie Charles, Director of Nursing, at jcharl12@jh.edu.

As we approach the weekend, let's keep in mind the transformative power of voicing our thoughts and working together for positive change. Wishing you all a safe and rejuvenating weekend ahead!

Weekly Updates: September 8, 2023

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday! As we approach the weekend, I wanted to extend my warm wishes to you all. I trust your week has been filled with meaningful experiences, and you're looking forward to a wonderful weekend ahead. As we transition into this weekend, allow me to share some exciting news and provide a few important reminders.

Upcoming Events:

National Assisted Living Week Celebration:

I'm thrilled to invite you to our upcoming National Assisted Living Week Celebration from September 10th to September 16th, 2023, themed "Season of Reflection." This year's celebration is extra special because it reflects the heart and soul of our Grand Oaks community, with resident-driven planning at its core.

Please find the attached flyer for a detailed schedule and all the exciting information about this resident-organized celebration. This week promises to be a memorable journey, filled with opportunities to connect, reflect, and create lasting memories.

Clinical Update:

As we enter the changing seasons and approach the flu season, I want to remind everyone to continue with the simple health practices that keep us all safe and well. Washing your hands regularly, avoiding touching your face, and covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze are small yet effective steps that make a big difference.

Our clinic team is finalizing the details of the annual flu and COVID clinic, scheduled to take place beginning to mid-October. Once everything is finalized, you will soon receive a flyer notifying you of the exact date and time of the clinic. Your health is our concern, and we want to make sure you have access to important healthcare services.

Activities Outings and Transportation:

As the weather gets cooler, we're excited to announce that we will be scheduling more outings for our residents. These outings include visits to museums, shopping trips, movie excursions, and enjoyable lunches. For Assisted Living residents, these outings will be on Tuesdays, while Oasis residents can look forward to outings on Thursdays. Please keep this in mind as you plan your personal and medical appointments using the transportation. We want to ensure that you have the opportunity to participate in these wonderful outings.

We can't wait to share these incredible moments with all of you and make National Assisted Living Week a truly unforgettable "Season of Reflection." Thank you for being a valued part of the Grand Oaks family, and we look forward to celebrating together. I wish you a safe and pleasant Friday and a restful weekend.

Weekly Updates: September 1, 2023

Dear Residents and Family,

Happy Friday!

As September graces us with its presence and we prepare to embrace the extended Labor Day weekend, we find ourselves in a moment that resonates with the spirit of reflection and renewal. Labor Day, a celebration of the dedication and contributions of individuals nationwide, mirrors the very essence of introspection that accompanies the changing seasons. Just as nature allows us moments of reflection as the seasons transition, this Labor Day weekend offers a wonderful opportunity for us to pause, reminisce about our accomplishments, and savor the present.

Now, let's explore what lies ahead at Grand Oaks:

Upcoming Events

Resident Engagement Survey - Extended Deadline!

We have exciting news regarding the Holleran Resident Engagement Survey. Your feedback holds immense value for us, and we want to ensure everyone has ample time to contribute. Therefore, we're extending the survey submission deadline until the end of Monday, September 4th. This extension grants you a few extra days to share your thoughts, actively participating in shaping the future of Grand Oaks.

If you've already completed the survey, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your involvement. For those who haven't had the chance yet, we kindly request that you take a few moments to participate. The survey link was sent via email, and this extended deadline is a wonderful opportunity to provide us with your valuable insights.

National Assisted Living Week: Seasons of Reflection

Join us in celebrating National Assisted Living Week: Seasons of Reflection at Grand Oaks from September 10-16, 2023! During this special week, we're hosting a series of engaging activities that honor the resilience and vibrancy of our residents, staff, and the assisted living community as a whole. It's an opportunity to reflect on our past achievements, savor the present moments, and embrace the future with renewed optimism. Just as the changing seasons offer moments of contemplation, this week allows us to pause and celebrate the diverse and compassionate community we've built at Grand Oaks.

Each day of this week will be dedicated to a different theme, symbolizing the essence of each season. From "Springing into Reflective Memories" to "Giving Back: Harvesting Compassion," these activities are designed to create cherished experiences, foster friendships, and celebrate the cultural diversity that unites our community. We invite you and your loved ones to join us on this remarkable journey of reflection and growth at Grand Oaks Assisted Living.

As we embark on this meaningful journey and the long Labor Day weekend, we extend our warmest wishes for a weekend filled with relaxation, reflection, and happiness. Your well-being and comfort are of utmost importance to us, and we want to assure you that we are here for you. If there's anything you need or any questions you may have, please don't hesitate to reach out.

COVID-19 Updates: August 18, 2023

Dear Residents and Family,

Happy Friday!

As we stand on the threshold of another weekend, I invite you to join me in embracing the spirit of happiness that August brings. Did you know that August is officially designated as 'Happiness Happens Month,' a celebration dedicated to the things that bring us joy? It's a wonderful reminder to celebrate the little and big things that bring joy to our lives. As we dive into the weekend, I encourage you to think about a special way you can bring happiness to yourself and spread it to your loved ones and those around you. Whether it's sharing a heartfelt conversation, trying out a new hobby, or simply spending quality time together, your actions have the power to create a ripple effect of positivity.

In our pursuit of fostering happiness, I am pleased to share the activity schedule for the upcoming week, accompanied by flyers detailing exciting events like our first outing to the Kennedy Center since the pandemic, as well as an invitation to the much-anticipated "TIMELESS ELEGANCE" all-white summer party in Oasis, and the Cooking Club's sharing their happiness by baking zucchini bread in Assisted Living.

Your active participation and valuable input are truly instrumental in shaping our lively community. As we continue our mission to ensure that each day at Grand Oaks is filled with happiness, we kindly remind you about the approaching deadline for the electronic version of the Holleran Resident Engagement survey, which is set for August 28th. If you haven't had the chance yet, please take a moment to complete and submit the survey. Your thoughts and opinions are of utmost importance in keeping Grand Oaks a place where joy thrives for everyone.

As we move through August, let's always remember that it's your presence that fills the halls of Grand Oaks with a special kind of magic. Your smiles, stories, and companionship create a tapestry of memories that enrich our lives in countless ways. Thank you for being an essential part of the Grand Oaks family. Your happiness matters, and together, we'll ensure that happiness happens all around us. Wishing you a weekend filled with happiness!

New Update: Important Parking Update: Resident Garage Usage and Reserved Parking

A friendly reminder that the Resident Garage is designated for those with reserved parking or requiring wheelchair accessibility. If you do not currently possess a reserved parking spot in the garage, we kindly request you to explore the gravel parking lot or street parking as alternative options.

For those interested in securing their own reserved parking, our sales team is readily available to provide assistance and address inquiries. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated as we collectively strive to ensure a seamless parking experience for all members of our community. Thank you for your cooperation.

Before we delve into the weekend's offerings, I'm excited to extend an invitation to our upcoming Labor Day celebration.

Furthermore, I'd like to encourage both our residents and family members to actively participate and provide their valuable suggestions. Your insights are essential in making our activity program even more enriching and tailored to your preferences.

Dear Residents and Families,

I hope this email finds you all in high spirits and that you've had a truly wonderful week. First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your kind words, encouragement, and the warm welcome backs, smiles, and comforting hugs I received upon my return from my three weeks' time off. It truly meant the world to me. Now, I'm back, feeling refreshed, and absolutely thrilled to be working with our wonderful residents and family members again.

As we endure this scorching heat wave, I want to gently remind everyone to prioritize staying cool and safe. Please remember to stay indoors, stay hydrated, and find ways to stay comfortable during these hot days. Take advantage of this weekend as a chance to relax and rejuvenate.

I kindly request everyone to take a moment to read the attached letter regarding our upcoming annual Holleran Resident Engagement Survey for 2023. It will provide you with important information about the survey and what to expect. Your participation and feedback are invaluable in shaping the future of our community.

Once again, I extend my heartfelt appreciation for your ongoing support and understanding. Being a part of this compassionate community is an absolute honor, and I eagerly look forward to creating many more cherished memories together.

Thank you once again for your continued involvement and enthusiasm. Let's stay connected and make our community even stronger.

COVID-19 Updates: July 7, 2023

Dear Residents and Families;

Happy Friday! I hope everyone had an opportunity to spend time enjoying the 4th of July holiday. We had a wonderful event at Grand Oaks with residents and families enjoying a BBQ luncheon and music provided by Ordinary People. The residents ate, drank, danced and had a wonderful time. In addition, Jeanina DiVittorio and I once again enjoyed sponsoring the Palisades 4th of July community event by providing the neighborhood with an array of Red, White, and Blue treats at the Palisades Community Center.

Emergency Room Transfers

I wanted to provide clarification to all of our residents and families regarding transfers to the emergency room. In the event of a need for emergency care, for safety it is our policy not to transport residents through the tunnel and hospital system. In the event of a medical emergency requiring additional care, our team will notify EMS for assistance. If a medical condition requires an emergency room visit, families and/or responsible parties may transport their loved one through the tunnel on their own. If you have specific questions about this policy, please reach out to Jessie Charles, Director of Nursing.

COVID-19 Updates: June 30, 2023

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday!

As we stand on the brink of a momentous occasion, I hope this message finds you filled with anticipation and excitement. In just four days, we will gather together to celebrate the remarkable milestone of July Fourth. May this special day be a source of inspiration, reminding us of the resilient spirit that resides within each of us. Let us join hands in honoring the past, embracing the present, and eagerly looking forward to a future filled with hope and opportunity.

The Pearl Perfection, All-White Party was a resounding success in Oasis! Just three days ago, our Oasis residents gathered for an unforgettable evening of fun and glamour. It was a sight to behold as residents, staff, and families embraced the theme by dressing from head to toe in stylish white attire. The garden underwent a magical transformation into a paradise of all-white decorations, created by our talented team. Andrew, our executive chef, prepared a delectable feast that delighted everyone's taste buds. The mouthwatering delicacies, expertly crafted by Andrew, added an extra touch of culinary perfection to the celebration. Captivating live music filled the air with joyous melodies, creating an atmosphere of pure delight. If you happened to miss this epic gathering, fear not, because we will be hosting these themed events exclusively for our Oasis residents every month throughout the summer. So, mark your calendars and get ready for July's upcoming theme: Silver Breezes & A Summer White Delight. Keep an eye out for the next event on our weekly update, as we can't wait to recreate the magic once again!

On behalf of the entire Grand Oaks team, we extend our warmest wishes for a memorable and uplifting Fourth of July celebration. We are looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday as we create cherished moments and forge lasting memories together.

Dear Residents and Families of Grand Oaks,

I hope this message finds you well on this beautiful Friday. As we approach the weekend, I am delighted to share the exciting events we have planned for the upcoming days at Grand Oaks.

For those who enjoy stimulating their minds and exploring new languages, I invite you to join our Math & French Club in Oasis. This club provides a stimulating environment for those interested in delving into mathematics and the beauty of the French language. It presents a fantastic opportunity for residents to exercise their minds and engage in meaningful discussions.

Additionally, I am thrilled to announce a special event exclusively for our Memory Care residents. If you have a loved one living in the Oasis neighborhood, please join us for the "Pearl Perfection: The White Party Experience" on Wednesday, June 28, 2023, at 3:00 PM. Dress elegantly in white attire and immerse yourself in an afternoon filled with delightful hors d'oeuvres, live music, and a celebration of unity.

For those interested in learning or practicing Spanish, our Assisted Living Spanish Club offers a warm and supportive environment. It provides a chance to enhance your language skills and connect with fellow residents who share a passion for the Spanish language and culture.

We understand the importance of creating a stimulating and inclusive environment for all residents, and we continuously strive to provide a variety of activities that cater to different interests and needs. If you have any suggestions or ideas for future events or activities, please don't hesitate to share them with Jordan Asrat, Director of Activities (yasrat@jhmi.edu). Your feedback is highly valued as we work to ensure that Grand Oaks remains a vibrant and fulfilling community for everyone.

As we approach the weekend, we want to reassure you that we are fully committed to providing support and care for both you and your loved one. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your loved one's well-being, please don't hesitate to reach out to our nursing supervisor on duty at 202-437-0346.

Greetings, Residents and Families of Grand Oaks,

We hope that this message finds you well and enjoying the beautiful spring weather. May is National Mental Health Month and we want to take this opportunity to remind everyone how important it is to prioritize your well-being. We understand that life can be stressful and overwhelming at times, so setting aside time for yourself each day can make a world of difference in reducing stress levels.

Whether it's reading a book or going on a walk, find something that brings you joy! This month also serves as an excellent reminder to appreciate all the special things about our loved ones—no matter how small they may be. Make sure to take pictures with them or write down memories together—these moments will last far beyond the present moment.

COVID-19 Updates: April 14, 2023

Dear Residents and Families,

Greetings and a happy Friday! I hope this message finds you in high spirits and looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

As we wrap up another week, I encourage you to take a moment to appreciate your accomplishments, no matter how big or small they may be. Celebrate your efforts and recharge your batteries for the exciting weekend ahead.

At Grand Oaks, we know how important it is to celebrate life and cherish every moment with our loved ones. And this week was certainly one of celebrations as two of our beloved residents reached incredible milestones: one resident proudly turned 95, while another joyfully celebrated her 105th year! Today, these generous souls celebrated themselves surrounded by their nearest and dearest in a grand event complete with live music, cake, and cocktails that made us all smile.

Seeing our residents surrounded by the people they love, celebrating such a significant milestone with joy and excitement, was truly heartwarming. The event was a reminder of the importance of cherishing every moment with our loved ones and living life to the fullest. At Grand Oaks, we believe that life should be celebrated, and this event was a testament to that. Let's use this inspiring occasion to remember the power of celebrating each other's accomplishments, no matter what age or stage in life you're at. Let’s jump into any opportunity presented to have some fun together!

Activities

The French and Math Club we recently launched in Oasis has been an absolute hit! Our memory care residents have been participating enthusiastically in the activities, which include learning basic French phrases and solving math problems. We have seen fantastic participation and engagement from our residents, and we are thrilled to see them enjoying themselves so much. The club has been an excellent opportunity for them to engage their minds, socialize with others, and have some fun. By learning basic French phrases and solving math problems, our residents can challenge themselves and engage their minds, which is vital for mental stimulation and helps improve cognitive function. We appreciate our residents' enthusiasm for the club and the staff's hard work in making it a success. We believe that providing engaging activities like this is essential to enhancing our residents' quality of life.

If you have any questions or suggestions for new activities and programs, please do not hesitate to reach out to Jordan Asrat, Director of Activities, at yasrat1@jhmi.edu. We appreciate your involvement in our community and look forward to continuing to serve you and your loved ones.

Speaking of special moments, mark your calendars for Sunday, April 9th, when we will be hosting our annual Easter Sunday Brunch for you and your loved ones. This cherished tradition is not to be missed, so be sure to check out this flyer for more information and reserve your spot soon!

Activities

We're thrilled to share that our residents have been keeping busy with exciting activities this week. Our resident's book club met earlier in the week and had a great time choosing their next book, The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray. And let's not forget our first Trivia Mania night on Thursday! Our residents had a blast showcasing their knowledge and competing in a fun-filled evening. It's always wonderful to see everyone engage in activities they love. Keep an eye out for more upcoming events and enjoy your weekend!

Next week’s program schedules for both Assisted Living and Oasis neighborhoods are below.

We have limited reservation slots for parties of five or less each meal and only one reservation per meal for larger parties that can be accommodated in our private dining room.

A Friendly Reminder: Picking Up After Your Pets

Hey pet parents - we know your furry family members make visiting even more enjoyable, and we're happy to have them be a part of your visits! But let's all work together to keep our home clean by kindly disposing of your pets’ waste responsibly. That way everyone can enjoy the sparkling environment that makes Grand Oaks so special. Thank you for doing your part in helping us maintain a safe and clean space for everyone.

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday!

As we wrap up another productive week, just wanted to drop a quick note and remind you all to take care of yourselves. We all work hard, but it's important to remember to be kind to yourself and focus on positivity. So, let's make this weekend count! Take a moment to appreciate the little things and create memories that will last a lifetime. And of course, indulge a little - you deserve it.

Activities

Yesterday, our Assisted Living neighborhood was buzzing with excitement as four residents and four staff members teamed up to create their ultimate chili masterpieces. The competition was fierce, with secret ingredients being prepped since Wednesday and chili simmering away early Thursday. The aroma of savory spices filled the halls, sending anticipation levels sky high. At 3 pm, the Commons was packed to the gills with chili enthusiasts savoring every bite, laughing, and bonding over their love of good food. After all was said and done, it turns out that everyone was a winner thanks to the magic of chili-powered bonding!

Want to know who came out on top? You can find out the result of this tasty treat showdown on the Grand Oaks Facebook page and Tiktok. Check it out and follow us to stay up to date on all the fun events and activities in our community! And who knows, maybe you'll even take-home top honors in the next Grand Oaks Cook-Off!

COVID-19 Updates: March 17, 2023

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday!

Wishin' you a wee bit of fun and a lot 'o' luck on St. Patrick's Day! May the day bring you joy and happiness as you celebrate the Irish culture and traditions with your loved ones. Sláinte!

Today was a special day at Grand Oaks. It was St. Patrick's Day, and everyone gathered to celebrate in style! This afternoon, our residents gathered in the commons and the Oasis Activities Room, dressed for the occasion and ready to have a good time. The celebration started with live traditional Irish music, dancing, and wine, beer, and sweet treats.

Little did they know that their celebrations would take an even more magical turn when a mysterious figure began making its way through the crowd: a green man in a top hat who seemed to have sprung right out of an old folktale! Everyone quickly realized that this must be their very own leprechaun friend here to grant three wishes to whoever caught him first! Cheers erupted from all corners as our little leprechaun made his rounds. Everyone was delighted by his presence and welcomed him warmly into their festivities. The leprechaun began dancing around the room, doing jigs and reels with anyone willing to join him!

It was a day to remember—what started off as any old St. Patrick's Day celebration in our community ended up becoming a one-of-a-kind occasion when the leprechaun joined our festivities. Watching all the residents and staff come together to join in the fun was truly priceless. All eyes were filled with joy and laughter as our magical visitor gifted our lucky participants with three wishes each!

With our St. Patrick's Day celebration concluding, we can't help but look ahead to the spring and summer season with promise and excitement. As the weather warms up, our residents will have more opportunities to participate in outdoor activities, from gardening to enjoying nature walks around our lush campus. We also plan to plan more fun holiday events, like Mother's Day and Father's Day brunches, Memorial Day, and Fourth of July cookouts. However, nothing could take away the joy our leprechaun companion brought us this St. Patrick's Day. His presence reminded us that small moments shared together bring larger moments of happiness and unforgettable memories. No matter what holiday we celebrate next, we look forward to seeing how this cheerful little leprechaun spreads more joy throughout our community!

Dear Residents and Families;

We hope everyone had a wonderful week and enjoyed the beautiful weather that graced us.

Fat Tuesday Mardi Gras Celebration

The day began with a jubilant cheer that echoed throughout Grand Oaks as residents and staff celebrated Mardi Gras. Pancakes were flipped, parades were thrown, and music filled the air.

Residents in Oasis kicked off their celebration by making Shrove pancakes and then taking part in an exciting parade through the neighborhood. As they marched along, residents and the Oasis team cheered them on and waved colorful flags in support of the revelry. The parade had a festive atmosphere that was complemented by the sweet aroma of pancakes wafting through the air. After their march concluded, residents settled down to enjoy some tasty mini king cakes followed by classic New Orleans jazz tunes for dancing. Throughout the afternoon, residents laughed together as they swayed back and forth across the dance floor while enjoying each other's company.

Meanwhile over in assisted living, more festivities continued for those eager participants who took part in a special Mardi Gras scavenger hunt throughout the day! Afterward winners were announced amidst cheers from all those gathered around before everyone moved onto enjoying Fat Tuesday to its fullest potential - eating king cakes, drinking delicious beverages, listening to mesmerizing New Orleans jazz, and of course, lots of dancing!

All in all, our Mardi Gras celebration here at Grand Oaks was an absolute blast & thank you to everyone that joined us during this memorable occasion!

COVID-19 Updates: February 3, 2023

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Frigid Friday! We don’t have any snow on the ground, but today definitely feels like winter.

This week we had one exposed resident test positive for COVID-19. Our Oasis neighborhood continues to operate with limited communal dining and programming. The activity department continues to provide 1:1 room visits and personalize these visits based on our resident’s needs. The Oasis activity programs are scheduled to return to normal on Monday, February 6, 2023. Both activity schedules for next week are below.

“National Dark Chocolate Day” Wed, February 1st

From the smiles on everyone's faces, it was clear that National Dark Chocolate Day was a success! As the aroma of freshly baked dark chocolate lava cake permeated the air, more residents emerged from their rooms to partake in the fun. The atmosphere was filled with joy as everyone enjoyed their cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream topped with fresh strawberries. We shared stories and reminisced about our favorite recipes while indulging in the sweet flavor of dark chocolate.  A sense of camaraderie filled the room as residents shared memories of moms, grandmothers, and aunts baking with dark chocolate. Everyone enjoyed the delicious treats, and the warm atmosphere created by their shared stories. We can’t wait for the next baking club event.

Notary Services

I am pleased to announce that Theresa Henderson, our Administrative Assistant in the Wellness office, is now providing notary services on the campus. As per Sibley policy, the fee for notary service is $5.00/seal, cash only, paid to the notary at the time of service.

COVID-19 Updates: January 20, 2023

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday, everyone!

I hope this Friday finds everyone feeling healthy and happy! Let's make it a great start to the weekend by enjoying some fun activities and taking some time to relax.

This week, residents celebrated International Flower Day by making flower arrangements for themselves or to give to friends. Residents discussed their favorite flowers and shared memories of when they received flowers as gifts from family and friends. Everyone enjoyed a sense of creativity and connectedness while they worked together in small, socially distant groups.

I am pleased to report that there were no positive COVID cases this week. In light of this positive news, the Assisted Living dining room and activity programs will open fully Monday, January 23. We recognize the importance of socialization, activities, and meaningful interactions for our residents during this time, and our staff will be working diligently to make sure residents get the opportunity to get out of their rooms, visit with their friends, and engage in all the exciting community activities.

COVID-19 Updates: January 19, 2023

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Thursday! I am pleased to communicate that beginning today, we will open the Assisted Living dining room seating to two residents per table. We have not had any additional COVID cases and our positive resident and staff have surpassed their 10 day isolation period. As communicated earlier this week, we plan to fully reopen both the Assisted Living dining room and activity programs on Monday, January 23rd. Grand Oaks will provide additional communication if these plans change.

As always, we appreciate your support as we navigate through our most recent COVID cases.

 

COVID-19 Updates: January 16, 2023

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! On this MLK Day, let us find ways to honor him in our own lives by checking in on ourselves and those around us. Self-care and a simple act of kindness can be powerful acts of resistance and change.

Over the past week, we have had one positive resident and one positive staff member. DC Health Guidance recommends a full reopening after 14 days with no cases. We are working with DC Health to slowly increase our dining capacity for later this week, then plan for a full reopening on January 23, assuming no new positive cases. We are grateful for your continued support, and we are committed to following DC Health's guidelines to ensure the safety of our residents, staff, and visitors.

The wellness office at 202-349-3424 is available to help with any questions or concerns you may have about the health of your loved ones.

We understand that this has been a difficult time for everyone, and we thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to move toward our goal of a full reopening on January 23.

COVID-19 Updates: January 13, 2023

Dear Residents and Families,                                                       

Happy Friday!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and please take a few minutes to review the programs we will be offering in both neighborhoods next week.

I'd like to remind everyone that all family visits must be done in your loved ones' apartment. Families are not allowed to visit their loved ones in the library, the Commons, or other areas where residents gather. It is important that we follow the guidelines of DC Health and remain mindful of everyone's health and safety.

COVID-19 Updates: January 9, 2023

Dear Residents and Families,

Please see the COVID-19 update letter below that will be delivered to residents this afternoon.

COVID-19 Updates: January 6, 2023

Dear Residents and Families,    

Thank you again for your patience as we navigate the current COVID-19 cases in the community. We had one additional staff member and one additional exposed resident test positive earlier this week. We continue to have no active cases of COVID-19 related to the Oasis memory care neighborhood.

Assuming there are no additional Assisted Living cases through the weekend and Monday, we will reopen our community on Tuesday morning for limited dining and activities. We will send another communication on Monday to confirm our reopening. As a reminder, unless you/your loved one is currently in isolation for a positive result or exposure, the residents are not quarantined at this time. Grand Oaks is unable to schedule and/or coordinate any communal gatherings at this time.   Residents are able to leave their apartments, move about the community, and visit with each other.

Please contact the Wellness Office at 202-349-3424 if you have questions about you/your loved one's current isolation status.                                         

Masking 

Please remember that all visitors to our community must continue to wear a mask while in the community. Please DO NOT remove your mask while visiting in your loved one’s apartment. If you have any concerns about your ability to adhere to this requirement, please contact me directly. 

Activity Program

Below is the Oasis weekly activity schedule. We will send an Assisted Living activity schedule out next week pending our reopening.

Beauty Salon

As long as there are no new cases, the salon will be open next week Tuesday - Friday with limited capacity for both hair and nail care services for all residents.

As a reminder, all assisted living residents remain quarantined at this time. The dining room, salon, and communal spaces are closed and there are no scheduled activities. The activity department is conducting 1:1 exercise programs in resident rooms. Please reach out to Jordan Asrat at yasrat1@jhmi.edu if you are interested and/or would like to sign your loved one up to be included. 

Thank you again for your patience as we try to maintain a safe environment. I remain hopeful that we will have results early tomorrow and will continue to provide updates as indicated.

COVID-19 Updates: June 26, 2022

Dear Residents and Families,

I wanted to provide an update on our current quarantine status. I reached out to the DC Health epidemiology team today since we have not seen any results returned for our resident testing. It was communicated that the lab sometimes suspends work on the weekends, however they would follow up with our specimens ASAP. I will continue to monitor for results and communicate updates as indicated.

I appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to provide the safest environment for everyone in the community.

COVID-19 Updates: June 24, 2022

Happy Friday!  As you know our assisted living residents are currently quarantined after mass testing today. We did not have to test our Oasis residents today.

I will send out additional updates as indicated through the weekend, including an Assisted Living activity schedule for next week as appropriate. I have attached the Oasis activity schedule for next week.

COVID-19 Updates: June 23, 2022

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy rainy Thursday! This week we had two residents test positive for COVID-19 in the Assisted Living neighborhood. Any residents with potential exposure have been notified and placed on quarantine. As per DC Health guidance, we will be mass testing all residents tomorrow, Friday June 24th, beginning at 10 am. At this time, we have requested NOT to test our Oasis residents but are awaiting confirmation from DC Health. 

All residents will need to return to their rooms tomorrow after breakfast and will be quarantined until all test results are returned. The Assisted Living dining room will be open for breakfast tomorrow, but closed and provide room service only through the weekend. We are hopeful that all additional test results will be negative so we can resume normal activity next week. In addition to the dining room closure, there will be no communal activities starting tomorrow and the beauty salon will be closed as well. All communal areas of the community will be closed through the weekend since all residents must remain in their apartment. We will be working with the DC Health lab through the weekend.  Additional updates will be provided as indicated throughout the next few days.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact Nicole Blaufox, DON, 202-437-2804 or Laurie Henley, 202-349-3400.
