Gov. Murphy Requires Testing For All NJ Nursing Homes

June 1, 2020
If your loved one is currently living in an Assisted Living community, and you are unable to visit we can provide the companionship and care all while keeping you informed.  Any caregiver who would be with your loved one is tested weekly for COVID.  We have availability in both Bergen and Passiac County with shorter shifts available in Hawthorne,  Franklin Lakes, Glen Rock and Allendale.  Here is some additonal information on the policy:
 

The New Jersey Department of Health (DOH) has issued an Executive Directive (ED) requiring all licensed long-term care facilities, assisted living residences, comprehensive personal care homes, residential healthcare facilities, and dementia care homes to implement testing and response protocols by May 19, 2020.

Although many facilities likely have already implemented crisis response protocols, the ED mandates the specific contents of any such protocol.

Facilities covered by the ED must review the terms of any such plan to ensure compliance.
