Today, the Elizabeth Scott Community offers a continuum of care that includes Independent Living, two levels of Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, and Skilled Rehabilitation – all on a single campus.

COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Update 5/14/2020- We are still COVID-19 Free!
Dear Residents and Families of Independent Living and Assisted Living Level 1. A little bit of change to our “Window Visiting” procedures. What is happening is, residents are opening their doors to greet loved ones, and putting their health and others health at risk, and then consequently, having to be quarantined. What we advise to do is please give the Resident Assistant a call when you arrive and they will assist the residents so they don’t open their apartment doors. Or you can call your loved one upon arrival, and have a window visit by the dining room. Thank you for your understanding.
 
COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Update 5/5/2020. No suspected or confirmed cases as of this date!
ATTN FAMILY MEMBERS: Elizabeth Scott Community is taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety and well-being of our residents and staff. This includes limiting outside contact, food and supplies brought into the building.
We understand this is difficult for all parties involved and we are being diligent in our efforts to remain Covid -19 free.
We ask that you limit what you are bringing to your loved one as any outside items pose an increased risk to introduce the illness.
Examples: Ordering from a restaurant any type of food or drink increases a chance that someone may be ill or a carrier of the virus. According to the CDC, Coronavirus may live on surfaces hours or days based on the material it is in contact with. We appreciate your understanding. Stay safe!
 
COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Update 4/21/2020 – No suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases for residents or staff!
The Ohio Department of Health on April 15, 2020 made a determination that will  require all nursing facilities to notify the resident, responsible party and employees of the first case of a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 in their facility.  Elizabeth Scott Community will make this notification by  phone to the responsible party and in person to the resident. We have continued to work through our disaster preparedness plan by utilizing and conserving our Personal Protective Equipment, limiting unnecessary exposures to residents through social distancing, changes to our activity programs and dining process. We are forever grateful for the support of our residents and  families as we navigate this difficult time.
We will continue to conduct Facetime, phone calls, window visits  and other media in an effort to ensure your ability to stay connected with your loved one.

COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Update 4/10/20. We have been asked by many in the community if we need anything to help take care of our residents, particularly PPE. We so thank you for that. We are in need of the following:

2. Isolation gowns
3. Masks- N95, surgical, or homemade

URGENT ATTENTION. It is being reported that visitors are entering into our resident’s apartments and coming into contact with the residents. This practice cannot happen. It puts that resident, other residents, and our staff at much great risk. Any resident that we suspect has come into contact with an outside visitor, we are instituting a mandatory 14 day quarantine to be on the safe side. We ask that you follow the mandatory guidelines set forth by the Ohio Department of Health when dropping off deliveries to residents here. There are two locations to do so, in building # 3 and Building # 6 ONLY. Items must be given to a staff member to then deliver to your loved one. Delivery times are below.

To Our Residents and Family Members:

We know many of you are concerned about the spread of COVID-19 (the new coronavirus) and how it may impact us here at Elizabeth Scott Community. Ensuring residents are cared for in a safe and healthy environment is our first priority. At this time, we don’t have any cases in our facility. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have recommended a variety of steps that we are implementing to help reduce the potential for the virus to enter our building. However, we need your help in battling COVID-19. Below are some examples of how you can help protect the residents, as well as prevent the spread throughout the community.

At this time, we request that family and friends do not visit the center. Out of an abundance of caution, we are limiting all visitors to our facility unless absolutely necessary. We are posting signs on our entryway doors to notify visitors of this policy and actively screening individuals, including staff, who need to come into the building.

We understand that connecting with your loved ones is incredibly important, and there are a variety of other ways you might consider communicating with them. These may include telephone, email, text, video chat or social media. If you believe a visit to the center is necessary, we request that you contact the facility at 419-865-3002 prior to your arrival.

Please make sure we have your most current, emergency contact information. We want to make sure we efficiently communicate with you should there be any new developments. Please reach out to the facility at 419-865-3002 with your updated contact information.

Residents and families, please help prevent the spread of infection by exercising proper hand washing hygiene as well as coughing and sneezing etiquette. We offer hand washing and alcohol-based hand sanitizer stations throughout the building, which you are welcome to use. Please also avoid shaking hands and hugs with any individual. If you are experiencing a cough, fever, sore throat, runny nose, and/or shortness of breath, please let a staff member know immediately.

Our facility is following the recommendations of the CDC on prevention steps, including following strict handwashing procedures, and in many circumstances, wearing gowns and gloves when interacting with residents who present symptoms. We also are staying up to date with the CDC recommendations as they may continue to change. In addition, our facility management is in close contact with the local and state health department, and we are following their guidance.

We will notify you if any residents or staff are diagnosed with COVID-19. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact our center at: 419-865-3002.

For additional information, please visit the CDC’s coronavirus disease information page.

Sincerely,

Candace Reed, LNH

Four Generations of Care

As a family owned facility, our third- and fourth-generation owners work in our facilities every day. They provide a daily example of caring for our residents as if they were family members.
Four Generations of Care

We’re Different

We use a consistent staffing philosophy and assign the same nurses and nurse assistants to a specific area. This allows staff members to get to know each resident and their overall health.
