Dear residents and staff of Advantage of Southgate. I am writing to provide you with an update on Covid 19 protocols. Currently, we do not have any patients or staff who have tested positive or have been recently treated for Covid 19 here at Advantage of Southgate. As move to normalcy, we are now allowing visitors back into Advantage of Southgate. With this change, the following must be observed.
· All visitors & staff must check-in at the front door. Visitors and staff must fill out the Covid-19 screening tool. During this process staff and visitors will be givien a mask and required to clean their hands.
· Residents and visitors may visit without distancing and source control masks if alone in the resident’s room and the resident and visitor are fully vaccinated. If the visitor is not vaccinated, they can visit with a fully vaccinated resident alone in the resident’s room without distancing while wearing well-fitting source control masks. If a resident or visitor is not vaccinated, they will be required to wear a mask and maintain social distancing.
· Communal dining and activities may occur without physical distancing if all residents are vaccinated. If there is a resident in attendance who have not fully vaccinated, they will need to follow the social distancing guidelines outlined by the CDC
· If vaccination status cannot be determined, the safest practice is for all participants to follow all recommended infection prevention and control practices, including maintaining physical distancing and wearing source control.
With the new guidelines in place, we are asking all residents and staff to report any new issues with shortness of breath, elevated temperature, and cough to the charge nurse or the Director of Nursing. At this time, we are prepared to take care of all residents who believe they may have signs and symptoms of Covid 19. To prevent the spread of Covid-19 we are asking everyone to wash their hands, covering their cough, and use hand sanitizer before touching themselves or someone else. My staff has been instructed to use a mask while providing care to resident to limit the risk of transmitting Covid-19. We are asking patients who leave their rooms to put on a mask for their protection.

Hello, I have some exciting news. We have diligently been working on a reopening plan for our building. As of 10/26/20 Advantage Living Center - Southgate will be open for in person visits. All visitors wishing to visit a loved one will have to make an appointment before being allowed into the building. Appointments can be made one of two ways. The first way is by calling the front desk and asking to speak with the Activities director Ann Marie. Ann Marie can set an appointment date and time for your visit. The other way is by logging onto our Facebook page and signing up by using the signup genius link posted at the top of our Facebook page.
Before entering to see your loved one you must do the following:
1. Have in hand a current negative Covid 19 test. This test must be within the last three days prior to your visit.
2. Have signed the Advantage Living Center -Southgate contract
3. Wear a mask and the appropriate PPE
4. Wash your hands and have your temperature checked at the front door.
Residents are limited to two visitors at a time. Each visit will be 30 minutes in length. During the visit you and your loved one must remain 6 feet apart. No food or drinks can be brought in and exchanged during the visit.
I would like to share some other good news with you as well. This week we have started in person dining. We are starting with lunch today and tomorrow. Starting November 2nd , we will be having lunch 7 days a week. My staff will round daily to ask you if you would like to attend lunch. We have also started back in person activities.

I am writing you to notify you of our current Covid status. As it stands, we currently do not have any Covid positive residents. As a reminder, our last Covid positive resident was over 5 months ago. As a precautionary measure, we are screening all staff and vendors that enter our facility. All staff and visitors must have their temperature taken and answer a few questions related to Covid 19. At this time, I would like to share some exciting news with you. We have begun to start planning for community activities and dining while still practicing social distancing and following CDC guidelines. Over the last week, the Activity Department met with each resident to determine if they would be willing to try community dining again. Some of you said yes and some residents stated no. Please note that if you declined previously you can change your mind and be added to the dining list at any time.
Our outside drive-by visits have been a huge success. Please notify the Activity Department if you would like to schedule a visit outside or to see your loved one. As a reminder, you have access to contact your loved one via Facetime, Zoom, or Google Duo. Please notify the activity Department if you would like to schedule a video call.
As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or any member of my team at: 734-284-4620.
Best,

As of 6/15/19 the State of Michigan has asked that we test all residents and staff for Covid-19 on a weekly basis, until further notice. This test will be conducted by the nursing department. All previously negative tested residents and staff must have another test completed. If you have previously tested positive for Covid-19 you do not need to patriciate in the ongoing testing. Testing for residents will be conducted on 6/23/20 & 6/24/20. Testing for staff will be conducted on 6/25/20, 6/26/20, 6/27/20 and 6/28/20. The test will be conducted in a private location and is free of charge. Vendors entering the facility will have to provide proof of their negative test or comply with the facility’s testing requirements. This will be completed on a weekly basis as well, unless otherwise directed by the State of Michigan.
I cannot thank everyone enough, for doing their part during this Covid crisis. Please continue to wear your mask and wash your hands frequently. Below are our mitigation strategies to support and promote safety for all our residents & staff.
