 July has brought Brunswick at Longstown many sunny days! 

Deb, our Lead Receptionist and Billing Coordinator, was chosen as our June Employee of the Month. Everyone loves working with Deb, she is friendly and always has a positive attitude. She is extremely helpful and is a light to everyone at Brunswick!

In September, we will be having our first annual Senior Games between our residents. They've started to practice their talents in the different categories like horseshoes, corn hole and ping pong. Marlene, Director of Activities and Jess, Director of Therapy, are having fun helping our residents train for their final competition.

Lastly, the yard sale has been moved from August 14th to September 25th. We hope to see you there!

We have completed routine testing of unvaccinated employees for this week and there continue to be no new positive test results.  York County remains designated as a county with a high transmission level. The CDC recommends that everyone in counties with a high rate of transmission should wear a mask in public, indoor settings. Mask requirements might vary from place to place. Make sure you follow local laws, rules, regulations or guidance. Visitors and staff to the Brunswick are required to wear a mask and complete screening upon entry to the building. While we have not had any active cases, we continue to experience community exposures due to the high rate of transmission in the greater community.  If you have symptoms, please don't disregard them as "allergies" or a "cold". Because these symptoms are similar to those of COVID-19, we cannot take chances.  Any visitor or employee who presents with symptoms will be sent home.  If you believe you have been expose

 Weekly testing was completed for all residents and employees.  We are pleased to report that there are no new positive test results this week.  Today is day seven of outbreak testing.  As I mentioned previously, we must go 14-days with no positive cases.  We will be testing all residents and employees, regardless of vaccination status, again next Friday and Saturday to complete outbreak testing.  Additionally, the York County positivity rate has increased to 10.2% putting us in a high risk area.  This means that we will now begin testing all unvaccinated employees weekly following next week's outbreak testing.   It is our  hope that there will be no new positive test results next week so that we may resume normal visitation, group activities and communal dining.  For now, there will be no change as all residents remain in a Yellow Zone until the 14th day with no new positive employee or resident test results. I will provide an update after next week's testing. We sincerely app

I wanted to let you know know that the York County COVID-19 county positivity rate has been on the rise the last several weeks.  The county positivity rate this week is 7.1%.  We are currently testing unvaccinated staff monthly per DHS guidance.  Our staff have been wearing eye protection since the positivity rate went up to 5%.  If the positivity rate rises to 10%, we will begin testing weekly.  We have been reminding our staff to take precautions when out in the community to protect the residents.  Additionally, we have been re-educating staff on the importance of infection prevention such as proper mask wearing and hand hygiene.  As a reminder, if you are not feeling well, we ask that you not visit at this time. We are screening every individual who comes to the building. Many people have seasonal allergies and often assume symptoms are related to that.  We cannot assume that signs and symptoms are seasonal allergies.  Anyone who presents with signs and symptoms (fever, respiratory
