Safety & Wellness

Ecumenical Retirement Community has demonstrated transparency and commitment to going above and beyond what is required and even practiced in the industry—in terms of both communication and infection control protocol. We began publishing COVID updates since March 2020 when our practices were evolving as virus information was being learned.

While we know COVID-19 measures will continue to be a reality for the near future, now with access to vaccinations, boosters and preventative treatment, as of February 1, 2022, we have transitioned communication to align with our overall infectious diseases policy which states we will communicate illnesses and exposures directly with the resident who is sick/affected as well as his/her POA.

We will continue to contact families directly if their loved one tests positive for COVID-19 or has been exposed and is eligible for preventative treatment. If visitation is affected per Department of Health guidelines, we will inform all families in the building and/or neighborhood of the temporary alternative plan and post on our visitation page.

Otherwise families are welcome to visit per the current guidelines, our mask policy and recommended safety precautions or take their loved one off campus.

Ecumenical has not wavered in our infection control protocols, and our campus team continues to practice safety measures including testing, quarantining and administering preventative treatments when warranted. We continue to follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

We remain vigilant against COVID-19, influenza and other viruses and strongly encourage residents, co-workers and visitors to continue practicing precautions such as wearing a mask in public, physical distancing and washing hands frequently.
