AUSTIN, Texas, March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- New Haven Texas, 10 assisted living and memory care communities located throughout Texas, continues to look forward to long-term protection with frequent COVID-19 testing for residents, staff, and essential caregivers effective March 8, 2021.
New Haven has partnered with a well-known Texas laboratory to provide supported testing services. Through this partnership, New Haven will receive support with COVID-19 testing including training, access to test kits, lab capacity and management of results via an online portal. All residents and essential caregivers will be tested once a month, and staff tested twice a month. This test will be a non-invasive nasal swab collected in the community by the Wellness Director, LVN. The swab is then mailed directly to the lab, where results will be obtained within 24 to 48 hours. Implementing testing and contact tracing to slow the spread of COVID-19 allows New Haven to quickly identify infections and provide residents, staff, and families with peace of mind.
