Addressing COVID-19 as an Assisted Living

(PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE A VISITOR)

3/12/2020

Here at Abba Care the wellness and quality of life of our residents takes utmost priority.  With the onset of COVID-19 and our community’s susceptibility to the virus, we are bolstering our efforts by implementing some temporary but essential guidelines and policies for all of our visitors and staff.  


Although Dallas and Garland are not currently in the minimal to moderate infection phase, we are taking pre-emptive measures and implementing the more assertives strategies per the CDC community guideline suggestions for assisted livings.

Here are some updates and policies on how we are addressing COVID-19 in order to safeguard our residents, their families, and our staff:
