Parkview Healthcare Facility's Parkview Outlook April 2020 | Page 3

With our mission to be the first choice for customer focused care; the safety and
wellbeing of our residents, their families and the staff at Parkview Health Care Facility
is always foremost in our decision making. Out of abundance of caution and in com-
pliance with the CDC recommendations for COVID-19; significant visitor and activity
restrictions and screenings were implemented in March, a few days prior to this being
mandated to every facility in the nation by CMS.
Current visitation has been restricted to end of life needs only and even then only af-
ter screening. All other visitors, including some non-essential services and volunteers,
are restricted at this time. All outside group activities, including church services and
school/intergenerational events, are also suspended. We will be promoting “social dis-
tancing,” social media visiting and one-one interactions instead. The calendar in this
newsletter is tentative and we will resume our regular schedule as soon as the re-
strictions are lifted. Please be assured, our amazing facility Activity Team and all staff
are dedicated to keeping our residents engaged and meeting their social needs during
this time. Families and friends are encouraged to contact Activities for scheduling so-
cial media interactions such as Skype.
We are hoping and praying this virus runs its course soon and we can enjoy another
beautiful springtime here in Bolivar! Until that happens, we will make the best we can
of circumstances while taking every precaution needed to keep our residents, your
loved ones, safe at PVHCF.
