Health
and Safety at Optalis Healthcare
Our Stance
Our commitment to families of patients and residents, as always, is to provide timely and accurate information. As it relates to COVID-19 and other contagious diseases, effective communication is an important part of containing any virus.
COVID-19 Prevention
The top priority at Optalis Healthcare is the health and well-being of our patients, residents, and employees. Therefore, we are taking all necessary precautions to ensure our centers remain guarded against spreading viral infections. We are in close communication with state and federal officials to ensure we are taking appropriate actions.
We understand that we care for our country’s most vulnerable population and are committed to ensuring their health, safety, and comfort. Every member of our center’s teams is dedicated to this mission, diligently operating with our residents’ best interests at heart.
COVID-19 Vaccine + Boosters
The COVID-19 vaccine requires one or two shots depending on which brand is administered and cannot cause COVID disease. Common side effects may include a sore arm at the injection site, chills, muscle pains, headache, and a low-grade fever. All have only lasted for a brief time. For an individual to be considered fully vaccinated, one must complete the one- or two-shot process and be two weeks passed their final shot.
Booster shots are available for each vaccine provider.
We encourage you to learn more about the vaccine from your state health department or through the CDC’s website.
Staying Connected
Staying connected continues to be vitally important, which is why we have a variety of visitation options available. For those that may be out of state or feel more comfortable visiting remotely, we invite you to schedule a virtual visitation session with your loved one.
