Good morning , Here’s the latest update with COVID at Foothill. In the last 24 hours, 3 more residents in Cedar unit, 1 resident in Maple Unit, and 1 resident in Sub acute tested positive for COVID. Currently we are monitoring all residents in all units for signs/symptoms of infection. I’ve had some families reach out to me asking if families are notified when a loved one tests positive. The answer is Absolutely! Families are always called to keep them updated on COVID status. If you did NOT get a call, you can safely assume your loved one did NOT test positive. On another note, we conducted contact tracing and determined one resident was exposed to COVID by a visitor who was not feeling well but chose to visit anyway. While the facility cannot restrict visitation, we strongly urge anyone considering visiting also consider all the residents and staff in the facility, and postpone visitation until you feel better.

Considering the recent surge in the community coupled with the current COVID outbreak, effective immediately we have decided to reinstate the masking requirement for all staff, families and visitors. Additionally, we will be temporarily halting community dining upstairs only to help minimize exposure. Group activities will still take place upstairs with staff highly encouraging residents to wear masks. While we understand this may be burdensome to some, we do this for the overall health and wellbeing of our residents and staff. Once we get thru the outbreak, we will revisit the mask mandate and consider rolling back the requirement.

Good Afternoon Friends & Family of Foothill Acres,
We are very pleased to announce a change to our masking policy! Due to the decrease in COVID-19 and other respiratory virus transmissions in our community, we are safely able to make masking optional at Foothill Acres!!
What does this mean:
It has been a long 3 years and we know most everyone has been waiting for this day!! The biggest winner in all of this is our wonderful residents, who can now go through their day without a mask and can show everyone their beautiful smiles!!! We look forward to seeing your smile very soon!!!

Good afternoon,
Here’s the latest update with COVID at Foothill.
Today 5 residents from Magnolia Unit and one staff member who worked in Magnolia tested positive for COVID. All residents were moved to the dedicated COVID wing. Currently we are monitoring all residents in all units for signs/symptoms of infection. Visitation remains open for all units including the dedicated COVID wing.
We’ve been asked by some families why we still allow visitation during the COVID outbreak, so I’d like to explain what’s happening.
Foothill Acres is bound by the rules, regulations and Executive Orders issued by the Governor and The New Jersey Dept of Health,
Early on in the pandemic visitation was completely stopped, except for very limited circumstances. About a year ago visitation was allowed with the facility having the right to restrict visitation under certain circumstances. Recently (about six months ago) the New Jersey Dept of Health issued revised guidance under Executive Directive No 21-021 which quotes CMS policy (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the governing body which oversees all health care facilities at the federal level states:
“ Visitation: Long-Term Care Facilities subject to this directive shall abide by the following to allow for the visitation of residents in their homes:
a. Visitation shall be allowed for all residents of nursing homes at all times per CMS QSO-20-39-NH, revised September 23, 2022, and accompanying FAQs, revised September 23, 2022, at https://www.cms.gov/files/document/qso-20-39-nh- revised.pdf (CMS Guidance), as amended and supplemented, which facilities shall follow along with the supplementation of this Executive Directive.
As you can see, Foothill Acres doesn’t have the ability to restrict visitation, to the contrary, we are mandated to continue to allow it for all residents at all times. We are required to ensure we screen all visitors and provide them with personal protective equipment (masks, gowns, eye protection) We do respectfully request anyone considering visitation to postpone any visit if they have any symptoms of COVID, Flu or are just not feeling right.

Today we tested all residents and staff on Magnolia for COVID and all results were negative. We will retest again and update families of those results once we have them. I am including the rest of last email to remind once again gently of the rules we still need to live by.
____________________________________________________________________________________
I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that although in the general population COVID protocols have been greatly relaxed or completely abandoned, in the Nursing Home setting we still live with nearly the same COVID protocols from a year ago. What that means is when visiting the facility, we respectfully request for family and friends to abide by the rules of the facility which include:
· Checking in and out at the kiosk at the reception desk.
· Wearing you mask at all times, especially when walking thru the common areas of the facility.
· Immediate reporting to the facility when you test positive after a visit to the facility.
· Contacting the facility when planning a large group visit (4 or more people) so we could arrange for a designated area for the visit.
It’s completely understandable that people are so tired of COVID and adding to that the fact that social distancing is a thing of the past, and masks are no longer required anywhere EXCEPT in healthcare settings makes it a pain to abide by these guidelines. Considering all that, the reality is we are a healthcare facility and really need everyone’s complete cooperation. As always, I’m available if anyone has any questions. Please email me at admin@foothillacres.com, or call me on my cell at 973-525-4011.

Hello All,
Today a resident in our Sub-Acute unit tested positive for COVID. This was contact traced to a visitor who tested positive earlier in the week. The resident was moved to our COVID wing. As per protocol, all Sub Acute residents and staff are being tested for the next two weeks.
I haven’t heard back from anyone regarding the weekly conference calls so I will assume it is ok to leave it status quo with no standing calls scheduled. If there is anyone who wishes to start these up again, I am completely agreeable to it. As a reminder, you can get the latest information on our website at www.foothillacres.com We also have the email address which is monitored by a team of staff members. Feel free to email safety@foothillacres.com and someone will get back to you.

Hello All,
I’d like to update everyone on where we are with COVID and review a few important policy items.
Thankfully Foothill Acres is COVID free, with the last resident recovering and going back to their regular room. All staff have fully recovered as well. The New York Times is reporting a daily average of just over 3000 new daily cases, which is half of what it was just a few months ago. CALI scores have dropped in multiple counties throughout NJ, but the COVID transmission levels in healthcare settings are high across the State. You can see a copy of the latest CALI score here: https://www.nj.gov/health/cd/documents/topics/NCOV/COVID-19_Activity_Report_2022_08_04.pdf
We are heading in the right direction, but still must remain vigilant in our fight against COVID. We respectfully ask anyone who isn’t feeling well to please consider not visiting until they feel better.
Another item Id like to discuss is the weekly conference call. I have been hosting the call every Tuesday at 3:00 PM, but after 4-5 weeks of no one joining the call, it was discontinued. If there is anyone who would like me to start it up again, I am happy to oblige. Please email me at admin@foothillacres.com or call/text my cell phone at 973-525-4011 and let me know. Either way, if there is anything on your minds that you wish to discuss, you can always reach out to me anyway. We also have the email address which is monitored by a team of staff members. Feel free to email safety@foothillacres.com and someone will get back to you.
Another very important reminder for all family members and visitors is anyone entering the facility MUST use the kiosk to complete the COVID screening, sign in AND out. Its very important that the facility knows who is in the building at any time, should there be a disaster and we will be trying to get an accurate headcount. Signing out is the only way we would know that you left. We appreciate everyone’s full cooperation with these rules.

Hello All,
Here is our latest COVID update.
Thankfully all residents remain COVID free. This is a direct result of our staff being diligent in Infection Control practices. I would also like to thank our families for their diligence in making sure not to visit if they aren’t feeling well.
I’d also like to remind families when celebrating a resident birthday with a large number of people, the facility would prefer to get advanced notice so we can plan accordingly. We offer families the option of throwing a party in the spacious Oak Room which can easily accommodate 30 or more people with plenty of room to spread out. Considering the CALI score is high, this also gives the facility the ability to control an exposure to a family member who may test positive shortly after the party.
Additionally, the facility strongly recommends limiting the amount of visitors to 4 people at any given time on the units. We are still offering free rapid tests to any and all visitors who wish to be tested.
Our Current numbers:

Good Afternoon, Yesterday one of our non-direct care employees tested positive for COVID. As cases rise across the State, we are reminding all visitors that masks must be worn at all times while in the facility. We have been at the forefront of rolling out the 2nd booster for all residents who want it, and I’m happy to say the vast majority of our residents are fully vaccinated including the 2nd booster. The CALI score has jumped to Orange (HIGH) which means we all need to be extra vigilant in social distancing, and practice basic infection control.

Hello,
Last evening one of our NON direct care employees tested positive for COVID. Contact tracing revealed the employee most likely got the virus from her family. All residents that were exposed were tested today, and everyone was negative. They will be re-tested on Monday and again on Wednesday. We will be keeping a close eye on all residents and staff for signs and symptoms for the next 14 days.
We will also be keeping an eye on the New Jersey CALI score. It has been holding steady at YELLOW, moderate for the last several weeks. As case counts climb in across the country, it can have an impact on us as well.

Good afternoon,
Today I have some great news to share! Our Infection Control Physician determined that our last resident who tested positive was in fact proven to be a false positive, which means we were able to continue our clean day count and reached the required 28 days without infection. Armed with this, we applied and received the “End of Outbreak” designation from the local Health Department. I am happy to report that we resumed communal dining and communal activities.
On another note, we welcomed a new Unit Manager to the Maple Unit. Shawnta Jones has been a Nurse Supervisor at Foothill for a few years and transitioned to the Unit Manger position. Because of her previous experience, Shawnta is familiar with the residents on the unit, and we are very excited to have her in this position.
Infection rates statewide have dropped again, this time some counties are GREEN level.

If you must visit, we ask you strictly adhere to the guidelines which include going directly to your loved one’s room and always wearing a tight fitting mask.
