 Dear Friends of Hebert,

We continue to thank you for remaining diligent with wearing your masks, social distancing and frequent handwashing. Please remember to report any symptoms including flu like symptoms to your nurse. This is the best practice for COVID prevention. Indoor visitations are going well, any requests for face time, zoom video chats please contract activity dept staff to let them know you prefer that option to reach out to your loved ones.

This is a continued effort to maintain a safe home and work environment for the residents, visitors, and staff. As a reminder, when dropping of smoking paraphernalia, please give them to the receptionist at the front desk so they can be properly labeled and stored individually for each resident.  Please do not give any smoking material to your loved one as not following the smoking rules could result in a loss of privileges. Each resident has a labeled draw/zipped locked bag containing their personal smoking products.   More information regarding the smoking rules and smoking times to follow. Just a friendly reminder to family and friends Please drop off all smoking materials to front desk.

While smoking outside, please be mindful as you drive past the smoking area for the safety of our residents and staff.

Resident & Staff cookouts will begin in June provided by our Dietary team. These cookouts will be every other Wednesday for the length of the summer. The first cookout will be June 7th. Ice cream socials for Staff and Residents will also be returning May 31st the last Friday of each month.

Mask’s are no longer required in this facility. If you are feeling unwell, please continue to screen in and wear a mask. If you would still like to wear a mask, we are providing them at the front desk. We continue to closely monitor residents and staff for symptoms and continue to follow Dept. of Health guidelines.

We are screening visitors and vendors upon entering the building. If you are experiencing any symptoms, please inform the front desk greeter. We will gladly provide a rapid Covid test.  We respectfully ask that you be mindful of the time you arrive and that if it is “off hours” for our receptionists – that you patiently wait for another member of our team to be available to greet you and screen you – prior to entering the facility.

We currently have 0 staff members that are covid-19 positive.
