I just got an email from my mom’s aide looking for paper products (paper
towels, TP, tissues). Does anyone know of a good source to get these?Is
this something the building might be able to purchase in bulk for the
residents?
Thanks,
Lisa

Within F&F there are some tasks that are, or may, come up (ie what
residents needs help cleaning / Nina, what is the storytelling program /
thank you Nancy, etc). If you are open to taking on tasks if / when needed
let me know and I’ll add you to the list I’m keeping. I will reach out if

*COVID, testing and isolation*
- if someone is sick, you need to work through your own dr to get tested.
- bringing your loved one home is a personal decision. One person has
brought their parent home. If you brought mom home, then had to bring
her back because someone in your house tested positive, they would need to
isolate for 14 days. That means anyone coming in to their apt would need to
be masked and gloved.
- Given the news re Orchard Grove and Jack Satter, what are HSL’s best
practices that we should know about how you will handle it at 100 Centre St.
this link has info, and a lot more, posted.
https://www.hebrewseniorlife.org/about-us/covid-19-coronavirus-guidance
*“We will follow our aggressive protocols to isolate any patient
exhibiting airborne illness symptoms, as we do when we suspect a case of
influenza. We have the ability (and have done so in the past) to close
certain wings in our buildings where there has been an outbreak of the flu.
We continue to monitor best practices and guidance from the CDC and MDPH as
we make decisions specific to COVID-19.”*
*Building issues*
- Caregivers need to wear gloves going in and out of the door.
- Temperature taking at door: residenta will now face sideways, if the
temp gets to 99 they will use a under the tongue thermometer to double
check. They are using masks and gloves. Pencils are only used once,
- Cleaning going well. 100 Centre is the only place that cleaner works.
Does halls, etc when not doing units.
- Food shopping is working out well and they hope they can add some
things [remember it is bulk food, no personal preferences, brands, etc]
- dining room workers are helping residents fill out the menus (would be
great be nice if F&F could access menus so they can help loved ones fill
them out]
- Inspection of elevator is it by the state and still seems to be going
forward.
*Volunteering*
- Currently there is nothing we can have the council on aging help with,
thanks for asking though.
- Calls from volunteers to seniors (telling stories) are being handled
by Lynda Bussgang. High school and college kids are signing up to make
them. Grown ups can too. Contact Lynda Doctoroff Bussgang / Director,
Multigenerational Program 781-234-9217 (o)
