What makes this place special is the entire staff in the memory care area and their interaction with the residents. Eric is the Piped Piper. All sleepy eyes open wide when he sings or just talks. Amazing! All the caregivers are awesome. Thank you all.

This place has MASSIVELY deteriorated since the pandemic began. My dad is there in the memory wing. We, of course and pathetically, cannot visit our father. When they let us see him at a distance he is dirty, his beautiful teeth he cared for all his life have rotted out of his mouth, and we believe he has impetigo as his mouth and facial area around his mouth are all red. We have to give a 24 notice before visiting which we believe is so they can at least make him presentable. Overpriced, overrated, overall disappointing. It did used to be great. They're talking advantage of this no visiting period. We're looking elsewhere. I wouldn't put my dog in this place much less my parent.

My mother in law had been in memory care for a while now. The activities are wonderful- she is busy all day long. Eric is simply AMAZING!!! He can always get her out of her Room to participate. He does wonderful things with the residents. Thank you Eric!!

Questions & Answers

What if I do not want to receive the vaccine?

Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021
Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021

It is each person’s and/or responsible party’s right to refuse the COVID-19 vaccination. Any resident or employee who declines the COVID-19 vaccine must complete a Cedarhurst Refusal Acknowledgement for COVID-19 Vaccination.

Will the community, residents, or staff be required to pay for the COVID-19 vaccine?

Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021
Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021

No person will be charged for the vaccine or its administration. The vaccine is paid for by the federal government, No. Section 3203 of the CARES Act, which does not impose any cost- sharing requirements, such as a copay, coinsurance, or deductible. A minimal administrative fee (approximately $28) may be billed to your health insurance, including Medicare. The pharmacy will be reimbursed for the administrative fee by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) program for those uninsured.

Is it safe to receive the vaccine?

How will I show that I have been vaccinated for COVID-19?

Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021
Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021

Each person vaccinated will receive a card after the first (1st) dose and after the second (2nd) dose. That card will include the date and type of vaccine received.

What are the side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine?

Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021
Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021

Most people do not have serious problems after being vaccinated, according to the CDC. Your arm may be sore, red, or warm to the touch. Some people report getting a headache or fever, particularly after receiving the second dose. These side effects are a sign that your immune system is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. It is building up protection and immunity against the disease.

Is it better to get immunity from actually having COVID-19 than it is to get immunity from a vaccine?

Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021
Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021

No. The CDC says getting the COVID-19 vaccine is the safer choice. While still learning about the virus, the current advice is that COVID-19 has caused serious illness and death for many people and if you get it, you also risk giving it to your loved ones, who may also get very sick.

Will I still need to wear a mask after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine?

Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021
Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021

Yes. We must continue proper infection control measures, including wearing masks, practicing physical distancing, and hand hygiene. It is unclear how well the vaccines will curb the spread of the virus. The Pfizer and Moderna trials tracked only how many vaccinated people became sick with COVID-19. More research is needed to understand if vaccinated people can become infected without developing symptoms and, if so, whether or not those persons can silently transmit the virus to unvaccinated people.

Do I need to give consent in order to receive the COVID-19 vaccination?

Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021
Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021

Yes. When your community receives the appropriate state- approved consent form from the pharmacy that will administer the vaccination, the form will be provided to you or your Responsible Party for signature. Verbal consent may also be obtained for residents who DO NOT have physical or cognitive ability to consent. If a resident or his/her Responsible Party is able to provide written consent, written consent should be obtained. If consent is collected verbally, a community representative’s original signature is required in addition to that of a witness on the consent form. The verbal consent must also be documented in the resident’s medical record. Further, the community is authorizing the pharmacy to bill on behalf of the individual being vaccinated. The pharmacy may require the consent form prior to arriving at the community and before they administer the COVID-19 vaccine.

Who administers the vaccines during the community’s on-site clinics?

Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021
Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021

Appropriate trained personnel under applicable state and federal laws and guidance will administer the vaccines. The immunizers are trained and certified according to company and state-specific regulations. They may include pharmacists, pharmacy interns, and trained pharmacy technicians, as well as other qualified healthcare professionals. The pharmacist will bring all requested vaccine product and other supplies necessary (including all appropriate Personal Protective Equipment—PPE) for administration, according to vaccination protocol.

Will both residents and staff be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine?

Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021
Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021

Both residents and healthcare professionals with direct exposure to residents will be vaccinated through the clinics. Some states may alter the order of those receiving the vaccinations; however, until directed otherwise, Cedarhurst is preparing to have all residents and healthcare professionals who wish to be vaccinated, vaccinated at the first two vaccination clinics.

Will Cedarhurst mandate the COVID-19 vaccine for residents and staff?

Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021
Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021

In accordance with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and to help protect team members, residents, and the public from COVID-19, residents and all individuals who have direct exposure to residents, including employees (full-time, part-time, per diem, PRN), essential caregivers, and 3rd party providers (physicians, nurse practitioners, therapists, home health workers, hospice workers, private duty service providers, beauticians, volunteers, etc.) are strongly encouraged to be vaccinated for COVID-19. At this time, however, Cedarhurst will not mandate the vaccine for residents or staff. Cedarhurst reserves the right to modify its position regarding mandatory vaccination in its sole discretion. Each individual should consult with his/her personal medical provider prior to making the decision to receive, or refrain from receiving, the COVID-19 vaccination.

Which vaccine will be distributed to my community?

Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021
Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021

It is our understanding at this time, that all long-term care communities will receive the Moderna vaccine. However, depending on vaccine availability and distribution efforts, the Pfizer vaccine may also be used. Once your community receives its confirmation for its vaccination clinic, the specific vaccine will also be confirmed.

If I get vaccinated for COVID-19, can I have unlimited visits with my loved ones?

Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021
Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021

Vaccination for COVID-19 does not guarantee unlimited access for indoor visitations. Cedarhurst will adhere to the guidance of each applicable state with respect to permissible indoor visits/visitors. Currently, guidance as it relates to visits and the COVID-19 vaccines has not yet been released.

Does the vaccine require multiple doses?

Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021
Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021

Yes. The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine consists of two (2) doses, administered four (4) weeks apart. The Pfizer vaccine consists of two (2) doses, administered twenty-one (21) days apart. You must receive both doses of the vaccine as scheduled by the pharmacy. Maximum protection against COVID-19 may not occur until several weeks after receiving the second (2nd) dose of the vaccine.

Will the vaccine prevent me from getting COVID-19?

Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021
Cedarhurst of Breese | Oct 24, 2021

Vaccines authorized for emergency use by the FDA have shown to substantially reduce your risk of getting COVID-19. If you are exposed and contract COVID-19 after being vaccinated, scientists believe that similar to other virus vaccines, your risk of serious complications will be substantially reduced. When vaccinated, you will help protect not only yourself, but also your friends, family and other members of your community. Both vaccines were tested in large clinical trials to make sure that they meet safety standards. Many people were recruited to participate in the trials, including people of different ages, races, and ethnicities.
