Heritage Village resident Barbara Wigley is pictured Wednesday receiving her COVID vaccination from Hannah Norton, a pharmacist from CVS.
Proactive.
That’s the approach Jeremy Rutter, Heritage Ministries chief clinical officer, said the organization has taken in preventing and combating COVID-19 in its nursing and assisted living facilities.
“We’ve been very proactive in many ways in which many nursing homes are not,” Rutter said in an interview Wednesday. “Safety is of the utmost concern for Heritage, and we’ve taken this over-the-top approach for infection control.”
That proactive approach includes constant cleaning, regular COVID testing among staff and testing of residents when COVID symptoms appear. In addition, all new admissions receive three COVID tests within 10 days, Rutter said.
