Please allow this email communication to serve as our weekly update. At this current time, there has been no change from our last communication. There has been no new cases of COVID-19 positive residents or employees other than what was reported throughout the week.
We closed our red zone as the last case of covid we helped quarantine from the community was discharged home. We will be red zone ready if we need to isolate residents again, but for now its a covid free facility.
Visitation for green zone residents is now inside and outside. Please make an appointment by calling the front desk 818-244-1133. Visitors are limited per day, so please respect our time constraints in this unique temporary visitation program.
Also, residents with a physicians order, who live in the green zone, and who have been vaccinated are permitted to leave the facility out on pass. Thank you.

The community around us is having extremely high levels of covid 19 cases and we are discouraging any in person visitation. However, the facility has some discretion and we will continue to allow green zone residents to schedule visitations in the outdoor tent areal
**A reminder** that families MUST abide by our visitation rules. Failure to follow rules can put our community at risk, and we ask you to help us protect our residents.
We know that as the holidays approach, we all want to make more contact, more gifts, more conversations and more risk. When making your holiday plans, please weigh the cost of a potential covid exposure in a nursing home, with the benefits.
We wish you a safe and hopeful Happy Holidays from the staff and residents of our facility family here at Glendale Post Acute Center. Stay safe.

Glendale Post Acute Center recently partnered with Los Angeles County Public Health in an effort to provide care to the most vulnerable community during this pandemic. As such, GPAC is now a dedicated covid-19 facility. Essentially, this means that Facility is able to accept vulnerable patients who are covid+ from an acute care hospital and provide the care they need as well as the non Covid+ patients. Facility has designated a Covid + unit that is separated from the remainder of the facility with dedicated staff and designated equipment with a barrier and separate entrance as permitted. By accepting these covid+ patients it frees up hospital beds across Southern California that are desperately needed for those in dire need.
We will continue to serve non-Covid residents as normal.
This week, Glendale Post Acute did not have any new cases of Covid-19 and no residents have developed any new symptoms.
May 12, 2020
Facility-wide testing was done and the results indicate there are now a total of 32 residents who are Covid-positive and 23 staff members who are Covid-positive.

We will continue to update this site if there are more positive cases in the future.
