Stop the Spread

Sunrise team members remain committed to prioritizing the health and well-being of our residents and everyone in our communities by adhering to evidence-based infection control and social distancing protocols, even when they are outside of our communities.

• Team members wear full personal protective equipment (PPE), including masks, goggles, gloves, and gowns while serving any resident experiencing symptoms and/or with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19.
• We are training and retraining team members to follow the standards in our Infection Control and Prevention program, as well as proper donning and doffing of PPE.
• Team members in our assisted living neighborhoods also wear face shields with their masks when they are providing direct resident care or are in close contact with residents. Team members in our Reminiscence neighborhoods wear face shields with their masks at all times as many of our residents with dementia are unable to consistently adhere to infection control principles. Additionally, we encourage and assist all residents to wear face masks, if they can tolerate them, when they are receiving direct care or are in close contact with others.

We are asking team members and Sunrise family members to help stop the spread by following the guidelines below.

	Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use hand sanitizer that has at least 60 percent alcohol.
	Limit interactions with others. If it is necessary to be in public, practice social distancing by staying at least 6 feet away from others.
	Cough/sneeze into a tissue or your flexed elbow and immediately wash your hands.
	Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
	If you feel sick, stay home and away from others and contact your healthcare provider.
	Wear appropriate face coverings. In community common spaces, wear medical masks provided by Sunrise. Outside of the community, wear cloth face coverings.
	Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
