Frequently-Asked Questions
HOW DOES GENERATIONS PROTECT RESIDENTS AND EMPLOYEES FROM THE VIRUS?
While no one can guarantee an individual will not contract the coronavirus, at Generations Senior Living we have implemented the following safeguards to assist in minimizing the exposure:
- All residents and employees are monitored daily for symptoms.
- Employees wear face masks daily when required and additional protective clothing (gloves, gowns, eye protection) are utilized as needed.
- Hand hygiene is required of employees and encouraged and assisted with all residents including the use of hand sanitizers.
- The common areas are cleaned often with industrial cleansers and supplies.

Our communities participate in employee surveillance testing for the virus, as well as targeted resident testing if symptoms are present.
WHAT HAPPENS IF A RESIDENT OR EMPLOYEE CONTRACTS COVID-19?
Should a resident or employee contract COVID-19, our first response will be to ensure that individual receives the appropriate medical care and services. We will notify the county health department and begin a collaboration with them in implementing best practices for any other resident or employee who may have been exposed to that individual. This could include self-quarantine, testing and any other measures deemed necessary by the health department.
In addition, we will ensure that all residents, responsible parties, and employees are aware of the positive case and appropriately advised of any precautions that should be implemented at that time.
