Sunset Wood COVID-19 Update 4-15-2020

Dear Tenants,                                                          April 15, 2020

        Now that we have been in isolation for just over 30-days, the big talk in federal, state, and local briefings all surround re-opening businesses. However, this relies on how many testing units are available, the amount of treatments (hydrocholoroquin), and eventually a vaccine. The bad news is that we are a ways out from all of these items, but the good news is that all parties are working hard to reach these goals.

The CEO of our trade organization, LeadingAge who represents non-profit senior living providers across the nation, summed up our community response to this pandemic perfectly:

None of us have ever experienced anything quite like this. And, yet, we adapt. We do what we can to keep ourselves connected while staying apart. We do it all in the name of saving lives. But it’s not easy.

-        Katie Sloan, President & CEO of LeadingAge

Governor Cuomo signed another Executive Order stating that all NYS citizens must wear a mask/face covering when “in public.” Since masks are difficult to come by, I am trying to source some for all of you. My recommendation is that in the meantime if you are going out, wear a scarf, bandana, or any cloth mouth covering. I will keep you all apprised as I learn more.

Stay safe & healthy,

Dominick M. Manfredo

Executive Director / CEO
