Important message from the Administrator:
Ennis Care Center was notified on May 7, 2020 that one of our staff members that works at another unrelated facility tested positive for COVID-19 at the other facility in which they work. Due to privacy laws, we cannot disclose any additional information about the staff member or the facility in which they tested positive for COVID-19. We currently have no COVID-19 positive cases in any other staff or residents at Ennis Care Center. The staff member that tested positive for COVID-19 is no longer working at Ennis Care Center, but since the staff member did work at Ennis Care Center within the last two weeks, we are proactively taking the followings actions to protect our residents, staff, and community:
➢ All residents, families, staff, and vendors will be notified by 5:00pm today.
➢ All residents and staff are being tested for COVID-19.
➢ All staff have been given appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (“PPE”).
➢ Our certified Infection Control Preventionist has re-educated and updated all staff and residents on appropriate infection control and containment procedures.
➢ We are performing a full-scale decontamination of the entire facility through a third-party infection control company, including an electrostatic spray and a polymer bio-shield that prevents viruses from adhering to hard surfaces for up to 90 days.
➢ We have notified, and are working in conjunction with, the appropriate Federal, State, and Local health authorities.
These actions are in addition to our current protocols already in place, which meet or exceed current recommended protocols from the CDC, CMS, and State/Local health authorities.
The health and safety of our residents and staff remains our highest priority. We are doing everything possible to ensure that we prevent and contain COVID-19 within our facility; including staying in close communication with Federal, State and Local health authorities to make certain we are taking all appropriate actions.
We know that you may have additional questions and we encourage you to contact us. Please call us at (972) 875-9051 or visit our website, www.EnnisCareCenter.com, for updates.
Sincerely,
Daniel Whitehead, Administrator ... See MoreSee Less
