Vaccine Update
We are pleased to share that all of our organization’s vaccine clinics are scheduled and several are already underway for the 1st round. We are heartened by the response from families and residents and are currently focused on team members and the vital roles they play in signing up for the vaccine. Vaccination by all mentioned groups is critical for opening and regaining connections in the spring.
Our two new communities opening in Maryland, Bay Village in Annapolis, and Queenstown Landing in Queenstown, will both have mandatory vaccination. We are commencing operations with resident and team member safety as #1.
On Thursday, January 21st, several of the ICC team who travel to and work in our communities had the opportunity to be vaccinated along with the local team and residents at The Pines of Mount Lebanon. It was an exciting day, and thrilling to take this important step towards returning to business as usual. We are in this together and the focus on the future and the better day dominated the clinic. Our community teams are working hard to ensure these clinics run smoothly, and the leadership team at The Pines is no exception.
