In effort to keep you informed, effective May 8, 2020, Watsontown began reporting daily
the following covid-19 statistics.  We will continue to track these
numbers and update this information by 5pm the next calendar day
following the occurrence of either a single confirmed case of COVID-19, or 3 or more residents or staff with new onset of respiratory symptoms occurring within 72 hours of each other.  

• The facility has a total occupancy of 125.

• 0 - Cumulative residents in the facility have tested positive for COVID-19

• 0 - tests pending

• 0 - residents that have tested positive and have successfully recovered

Our prevention steps included creating a
separate area dedicated to Covid-19 recovery to best accommodate
residents in the facility that require care during this time. As our
testing increases, we will be moving residents as required, temporarily,
into a designated recovery area and once medically cleared
they will be able to return to one of the other units. Please know that
residents that test positive or are suspected of having the virus will
be safely quarantined
from other residents. We are diligently following infection control
guidance from the CDC and state authorities, are being vigilant with PPE
usage and we continuously encourage safe social distancing. 

We
know how hard it is, especially during this pandemic to not be able to
visit and see your loved ones. Any family member that would like to
arrange for a virtual visit, please call our Activities department to schedule a time at 570.538.2561.

As always, we thank you for your continued support and pray that everyone stays safe and well.

Sincerely,

Melissa Polito
