With 113 residents, the retirement home in Englewood, NJ, sits in one of the nation’s hotspots for the coronavirus. Ten other residents there have tested positive for the virus; 13 have tested negative, and five others are awaiting their test results.“Overall, we have 11 residents that have been cured and have beat this terrible virus,” said Jordan Strohl, administrator of The Actors Fund Home, in a message today to residents’ friends and family members.
“More good news is that our Assisted Living & Memory Care sections of the facility are free from COVID-19. The mitigation efforts, including isolation and keeping residents in their rooms, seems to be very effective,” he wrote. “In terms of staffing, things continue to improve. Fewer staff members are out due to illness or because they have been in contact with someone with COVID-19. I think that this could be a sign that the curve is flattening.
“As The Actors Fund team continues to battle this terrible virus, I want to continue to remind all of you that our staff is here for you,” Strohl told family members today. “Over this past weekend, most of my department heads and supervisors, including myself, were in the facility to help in any way we can and address any of your questions or concerns.
