Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday! I hope you are all doing well. This week, we have been addressing several cases of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms among our residents. To ensure everyone's safety and well-being, we have temporarily closed the dining room. All meals are now being served directly to residents' apartments, free of charge, in a room service style. Regarding the dining room reopening, Jill will be communicating with you on Monday morning after breakfast to inform you if the dining room will open for lunch

Understanding and Preventing GI Spread:

GI viruses are highly contagious and can spread through contaminated surfaces, close contact with infected individuals, and droplets or aerosolized particles from vomiting. These viruses can be transmitted directly through physical contact or indirectly by touching contaminated surfaces. Maintaining rigorous hygiene practices and thorough environmental cleaning are essential to prevent the spread of these viruses. 

To minimize the spread, please follow these guidelines:

• Handwashing: Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the restroom and before eating. Here’s a quick guide:

• 1. Wet your hands with clean, running water.
  2. Apply soap and lather well.
  3. Scrub all parts of your hands, including the back, between fingers, and under nails.
  4. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean towel.
• Sanitizing: While using hand sanitizer is good practice, it is important to note that hand sanitizer does not effectively kill GI viruses. Therefore, washing hands with soap and water is the most reliable method to prevent the spread of these viruses.
• Preventative Measures: Avoid touching your face, especially your mouth, nose, and eyes. High-touch areas in Grand Oaks include door handles, light switches, elevator buttons, handrails, and shared equipment. Regularly clean and disinfect these surfaces to reduce the risk of transmission.

If you experience any GI symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, or fever, please notify your nurse or care manager immediately. Even if you have symptoms just once, it’s important to inform the clinical team to ensure proper care and prevent further spread.

Isolation Guidelines:

Residents with symptoms should stay in their rooms to prevent spreading the virus. You should remain in your apartment for at least 48 hours after your last symptom. The clinical team will clear you to leave your apartment once it is safe to do so.

Guidelines for Families and Loved Ones:

We kindly ask that families and loved ones refrain from visiting if they are experiencing any GI symptoms. This includes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, or fever. If you are visiting, please make sure to wash your hands thoroughly upon arrival and frequently during your visit. Your cooperation is essential in preventing the spread of the virus within our community.

Our Response and Preventative Measures:

1. Housekeeping Team: Our housekeeping team has been diligently disinfecting high-touch surface areas and maintaining cleanliness throughout the day. Their efforts are crucial in preventing the spread of the GI virus.
2. Clinical Team: Our clinical team is closely monitoring health conditions and ensuring that all necessary medical support is available.
3. Dining Team: The dining team is working tirelessly to deliver meals to your rooms. They are also providing hydration options such as Gatorade and ginger ale to help keep you hydrated throughout the day.
4. Activities Team: Adjustments have been made to our group activities. Only residents without symptoms can participate in socially distanced small group activities. Additionally, all scheduled activities will take place with appropriate social distancing in the Commons auditorium. Cocktail hour on Saturday will be cancelled. Small group activities, such as discussion groups, Spanish club, and bridge club, are postponed until further notice.

We appreciate everyone's cooperation and efforts in working together to keep our community safe and healthy. For any clinical questions or concerns regarding your health and well-being, please contact Jill Youens, Director of Nursing, at jyouens1@jhu.edu.

Please stay tuned for another update from me on Tuesday, December 10, regarding the status of our Holiday Party scheduled for next Friday, Dec. 13. While we hope to proceed as planned, we will continue to monitor the situation closely and make decisions based on the health and safety of our community.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Wishing you a joyous holiday season and a New Year filled with health, happiness, and prosperity. Thank you for being a valued part of our community.

Things to Look Forward to:

As we anticipate the upcoming holidays and events, there’s much to be excited about:

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!

Your contributions are greatly appreciated, and your partnership in working with me to create and design a resident-centered program is truly valued.

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.

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.

Dear Grand Oaks Residents and Families,

Happy Friday! As we welcome the first day of fall this Sunday, let’s take a moment to appreciate the vibrant colors and the crisp, refreshing air that this season brings. It’s a perfect time to enjoy the beauty of nature and perhaps take a leisurely stroll to soak in the changing scenery. Happy Fall to everyone!

Upcoming Update:

Reminder Regarding Parking at Fire Lane in the Main Entrance

We would like to remind everyone that parking in the fire lane at the main entrance is strictly prohibited. This area is reserved for emergency purposes and for pick-up and drop-off only. Please ensure your car is not left unattended in this zone. Your cooperation helps us maintain a safe and efficient environment for all.

COVID-19 Update:

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. Our dedicated Oasis team is closely monitoring all residents. Those potentially exposed have been identified and have undergone their first round of testing, with follow-up tests scheduled as recommended. Residents who have been exposed can continue their normal activities unless they test positive.

To further minimize the spread of the virus:

• Mask Mandate: Starting tomorrow, all Oasis staff, families, and visitors must wear masks when entering the Oasis neighborhoods. Masks are available at our concierge desk.
• Activities and Meals: We are keeping activities and meals separated by sides. Azalea side residents will not mix with Myrtle side residents. Activities will continue within each side to ensure safety. Rest assured, we are prioritizing health and safety without taking away any activities from our residents.

We are working hard 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 contact:

• SylviaGrace P Shaw-Thompson, RN Coordinator Oasis, at sshawth1@jh.edu or 202-660-5184
• Lynda Boateng, Oasis Wellness Nurse, at 202-660-5183 or lboaten4@jhmi.edu

Dear Grand Oaks Residents and Families,

Happy Friday! This week at Grand Oaks has been a celebration of the incredible spirit and resilience within our community as we embraced the theme of “Inspiring Generations” for National Assisted Living Week. This theme honors the wisdom, experiences, and stories that each of you bring to our community. Every day, we are inspired by your strength, kindness, and the unique contributions you make to our shared home. We deeply appreciate each and every one of you.

Tomorrow marks the grand finale of our celebrations, and the dining team has something special planned. During lunch, our dining team will be wearing shirts that feature the colors or flags of their heritage, and we invite all residents to do the same. Let’s come together to celebrate our diverse backgrounds and show unity.

Upcoming Updates:

Vaccine Clinic: The Flu/COVID Vaccine Clinic is scheduled for Thursday, October 17, 2024. The Flu Clinic will run from 9 am - 3 pm in the Commons, followed by door-to-door service in Assisted Living. This service will be supported by three pharmacists and our Wellness Nurses.

Please see the Consent Form and complete all required information for either or both vaccines. The Consent Form will also be available in the Wellness Office and at the Concierge Desk. Please return all Consent Forms no later than Friday, October 11th.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Wellness Office or contact Jill Youens, Director of Nursing, at jyouens1@jh.edu.

As the weekend nears, I send warm wishes for a fantastic and relaxing time. Remember, our nursing supervisor is available at 202-437-0346 for any needs or concerns.

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!

Upcoming Events

• Labor Day: A day to honor the contributions of workers, observed on Monday, September 2.
• Assisted Living Week: We’re gearing up for a week of creativity from September 8 to 14. Get ready to be inspired!
• Flu Clinic: Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 17, from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Your health is our priority, and we encourage everyone to take part.

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!

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.

Looking ahead, I want to remind you about an important upcoming event:

It’s a day to honor and remember the brave souls who have given so much for our nation. It's a time of reflection, gratitude, and unity as we come together with loved ones to commemorate their sacrifices. So, as you gather with loved ones this weekend, let's take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day and express our gratitude for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Hydration and Hot Weather:

With temperatures rising, it's important to stay hydrated and safe. Remember to sip water throughout the day, especially if you're planning outdoor activities. Avoid spending prolonged hours in direct sunlight between 10 AM and 4 PM, when the sun's rays are strongest. Instead, aim to enjoy the outdoors during the cooler morning or late afternoon hours, and don't forget to apply sunscreen for added protection.

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.

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!

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.

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. Mark your calendars and get ready to create wonderful memories with your Grand Oaks family!

Looking forward to seeing you all at these events, and I hope you have a fantastic weekend ahead!

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.

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.

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.

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.
