From Aaron Steckman, your friendly neighborhood Infection Preventionist:

As most people are aware now the CDC expanded eligibility for an additional booster dose for certain individuals who may be at higher risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19. People over the age of 50 can now get an additional booster 4 months after their prior dose to increase their protection further. This second booster is not currently required for someone over 50 to be “up-to-date” but it is being offered in anticipation of possible future increases in cases due to potential new variants in the coming months. If you are over 50 or considered moderately to severely immunocompromised* and it has been 4 months since your first Moderna or Pfizer booster or 2 months since their last J&J shot you are eligible for another vaccination. If you are over 50 and a staff member or resident in Maple Knoll Village communities or Knolls of Oxford communities and are interested in receiving this additional dose please reach out to me at [email protected] or call 513-782-2731 and I can provide more information. Thank you.

*Examples of moderately to severely immunocompromised include :

Been receiving active cancer treatment for tumors or cancers of the blood
Received an organ transplant and are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
Received a stem cell transplant within the last 2 years or are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (such as DiGeorge syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome)
Advanced or untreated HIV infection
Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that may suppress their immune response

As we enter the holiday season this year our communities are certainly in a better place than a year ago with a large portion of the population vaccinated, increased testing sites and readily available PPE/cleaning supplies in stores. With that in mind, we are still experiencing a pandemic and can be at risk for contracting and spreading COVID. Here are some tips from the CDC to read over to have a safer experience.

Safer Ways to Celebrate Holidays

Holiday traditions are important for families and children. There are several ways to enjoy holiday traditions and protect your health. Because many generations tend to gather to celebrate holidays, the best way to minimize COVID-19 risk and keep your family and friends safer is to get vaccinated if you’re eligible.

Here are safer ways to celebrate the holidays:

Generally:

Protect those not yet eligible for vaccination such as young children by getting yourself and other eligible people around them vaccinated.
Wear well-fitting masks over your nose and mouth if you are in public indoor settings if you are not fully vaccinated.
- Even those who are fully vaccinated should wear a mask in public indoor settings in communities with substantial to high transmission.
  - Outdoors is safer than indoors.
- Avoid crowded, poorly ventilated spaces.
- If you are sick or have symptoms, don’t host or attend a gathering.
- Get tested if you have symptoms of COVID-19 or have a close contact with someone who has COVID-19.

If you are considering traveling for a holiday or event, visit CDC’s Travel page to help you decide what is best for you and your family. CDC still recommends delaying travel until you are fully vaccinated.

If you are not fully vaccinated and must travel, follow CDC’s domestic travel or international travel recommendations for unvaccinated people.
If you will be traveling in a group or family with unvaccinated people, choose safer travel options.
Everyone, even people who are fully vaccinated, is required to wear a mask on public transportation and follow international travel recommendations.

Special considerations:

People who have a condition or are taking medications that weaken their immune system may not be fully protected even if they are fully vaccinated and have received an additional dose. They should continue to take all precautions recommended for unvaccinated people, including wearing a well-fitted mask, until advised otherwise by their healthcare provider.
You might choose to wear a mask regardless of the level of transmission if a member of your household has a weakened immune system, is at increased risk for severe disease, or is unvaccinated.
If you are gathering with a group of people from multiple households and potentially from different parts of the country, you could consider additional precautions (e.g., avoiding crowded indoor spaces before travel, taking a test) in advance of gathering to further reduce risk.
Do NOT put a mask on children younger than 2 years old.

By working together, we can enjoy safer holidays, travel, and protect our own health as well as the health of our family and friends.

We are happy to announce that visitation in the Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living settings will reopen effective 6/19/21.

All visitors will need to come in the appropriate entrance (Security/Employee Entrance at MKV or Main Entrance to Assisted Living at MKV) and the Main Entrances at both Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living at TKO.

Visitors will no longer need to make appointments effective 6/19/21.

There are no limits on the number of visitors that come, but we ask for all to use their best judgment.

All visitors are required to go through an electronic screening process upon arrival and wear the screening badge that is produced during their visit.

All visitors must adhere to the following:

Core Principles of COVID-19 Infection Prevention

Screening of those who enter the facility for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 (e.g., temperature checks, questions about and observations of signs or symptoms), and denial of entry of those with signs or symptoms or those who have had close contact with someone with COVID-19 infection in the prior 14 days (regardless of the visitor’s vaccination status);
Hand hygiene (use of alcohol-based hand rub is preferred);
Face covering or mask (covering mouth and nose);
Social distancing at least six feet between persons;
Instructional signage throughout the facility and proper visitor education on COVID-19 signs and symptoms, infection control precautions, other applicable facility practices (e.g., use of face covering or mask, specified entries, exits and routes to designated areas, hand hygiene);
Cleaning and disinfecting high-frequency touched surfaces in the facility often, and designated visitation areas after each visit;
Appropriate staff use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE);
Effective cohorting of residents (e.g., separate areas dedicated to COVID-19 care);
Resident and staff testing conducted as required

These core principles are consistent with the CDC guidance and should be adhered to at all times so that visitation(s) may continue.

Based on current ODH guidelines, indoor visitations may resume at this time.

March 26, 2021 @ 5:21 pm

A nursing staff member at MKV in skilled nursing tested positive on 3/26. Department head is aware.

VISITATION CHANGES

This triggers an exception to indoor visitation for Skilled Nursing based on the current Ohio Department of Health order and indoor visitation must be suspended immediately as stated below :

When a new case of COVID-19 among residents or staff is identified, a nursing home should immediately begin outbreak testing and suspend all visitation until at least one round of facility-wide testing is completed. Visitation can resume based on the following criteria:

• If the first round of outbreak testing reveals no additional COVID-19 cases in other areas (e.g., units) of the nursing home, then visitation can resume for residents in areas/units with no COVID-19 cases. However, the nursing home should suspend visitation on the affected unit until the nursing home meets the criteria to discontinue outbreak testing.

• If the first round of outbreak testing reveals one or more additional COVID-19 cases in other areas/units of the nursing home (e.g., new cases in two or more units), then nursing homes should suspend visitation for all residents (vaccinated and unvaccinated), until the nursing home meets the criteria to discontinue outbreak testing.

We will update indoor visitation access after our first round of outbreak testing early next week.

Compassionate and end of life visits will still be permitted.

The Ohio Department of Health issued an updated order for visitation which you can read in its entirety at coronavirus .ohio .gov. Go to the “Latest Developments” section for the full order. Some of the highlights are as follows:

Visits MUST be scheduled with the facility.
Visits are a minimum of 30 minutes. We will be offering visits that will be 45 minutes in duration.
Visits can be in the resident’s room if they are in a private room.
Only 2 visitors are permitted in for a visitation.

Please remember that the logistics to make this work require staff time. While we certainly want our residents to have visits, they must be scheduled in a fashion that enables us to meet protocol that we have to follow. For example, staff have to escort visitors to and from visitation areas as well as monitor visits for compliance with infection control and social distancing.

For visits at The Knolls of Oxford, call (513)524-7990 Monday through Friday between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm to reserve an available visitation time.

At Maple Knoll Village, call Laura Perez at (513)782-2686 for scheduling Bodmann visits and call Laurie Westermeyer at (513)782-4322 for visits in Breese Manor.

Thank you for your patience as we navigate through implementation of new orders as they are published by the Ohio Department of Health.

Update for Breese Manor & Bodmann Residents

As rules regarding visitation, quarantine, and vaccinations evolve we have fielded questions about taking a resident out of the building for non-medical reasons e.g. to a park, store, or restaurant.

To be clear, this would violate the current visitation order and we do not encourage this action. Positivity rates continue to be elevated in our county and other counties nearby and this can put the resident at risk for exposure regardless of vaccination status.

If a resident is taken out for a non-medical reason into any environment we have developed a process to minimize risk to the resident and other staff and residents. If the returning resident is unvaccinated they will be subject to quarantine for 14 days and tested at least once a week for two weeks. If the returning resident is vaccinated (14 days from the second dose) they will not require quarantine but will be tested at least once a week for two weeks.

For medically required appointments or hospital visits less than 24 hours in a supervised environment, there will be no changes to resident care.

We continue to monitor all residents at least daily for signs and symptoms.

March 18, 2021 @ 8:18 am

We are happy to pass along this announcement received from Leading Age today. Fourteen-day quarantine is no longer required for incoming residents or transfers unless there has been prolonged exposure to COVID. At this time, visitation remains the same although we do expect further guidance in April. Call 513.782.2686 to schedule.

New admissions no longer require quarantining:
Implications for nursing and
assisted living facilities

On March 10, the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) updated select healthcare infection prevention and control recommendations in response to COVID-19 vaccination. The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) has received approval by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service (CMS) that nursing homes and assisted living facilities can follow these recommendations. ODH confirmed this applies to all healthcare personnel (HCP) while at work and all patients and residents while they are being cared for in a healthcare setting.

Quarantine is no longer recommended for residents who are being admitted to a post-acute care facility if they are fully vaccinated and have not had prolonged close contact with someone with SARS-CoV-2 infection in the prior 14 days. This implies that residents who leave the facility (and do not have similar prolonged contact) also do not need to be quarantined upon return. Facilities are urged to have a person-centered approach to reviewing each resident’s entry/return to the facility.

Fully vaccinated residents should continue to quarantine following prolonged close contact (within 6 feet for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period) with someone with SARS-CoV-2 infection. This is due to limited information about vaccine effectiveness in this population, the higher risk of severe disease and death, and challenges with physical distancing in healthcare settings

Fully vaccinated healthcare professionals (HCP) with higher-risk exposures who are asymptomatic do not need to be restricted from work for 14 days following their exposure.

The CDC recommends quarantining if the HCP that had a high-risk exposure is immunocompromised. HCP who have traveled should continue to follow CDC travel recommendations and requirements, including restriction from work, when recommended for any traveler.

LeadingAge Ohio staff will be addressing this guidance and additional state and federal updates at next week’s all-member LeadingAge Ohio call on Tuesday, March 23 at 11:30AM. In the meantime, questions can be directed to [email protected].

March 12, 2021 @ 1:00 pm

Nursing Home Visitation Guidance Update

On Wednesday, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released revised visitation guidance for nursing homes. The guidance allows nursing homes to expand visitation options in a safe and responsible manner, regardless of vaccination status of the resident or visitor. Although CMS has updated guidance for nursing home visitation, Ohio’s sixth amended order remains in effect which we are required to follow. This means that visitation is still restricted except for end of life and compassionate care visits.

We continue to advocate for changes in visitation in conjunction with LeadingAge Ohio. As we receive guidance we will continue to provide updates.

In addition, we are pleased to share that 98% of our residents campus wide have been vaccinated. We have had a total of 70% of our staff who have received the vaccine. Please note that we are unable to mandate the vaccine for employees while the FDA still categorizes it as emergency use. Until the FDA gives the vaccine full approval, we will continue to educate and highly encourage our employees to receive it.

Thank you for your patience and support.

Nearly one year ago, we started to take preventive measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Twenty-Twenty was an emotional roller coaster for many of us, but we faced it together. Luckily, we have an Infection Control Specialist, Aaron Steckman, along with a Pandemic Team in place to help us defeat the battle which is COVID-19. We want to take this opportunity to highlight the many stories and accomplishments we have achieved over the past year. We would also like to thank our pandemic team for keeping COVID-19 out of Maple Knoll for so long, and to our residents for their patients with us over the last year. In in this booklet, you will read about Maple Knoll’s response to COVID-19, and how we rose to the occasion.

Maple Knoll Communities has been notified that Walgreens will now be able to vaccinate all Independent Living residents. Residents will be receiving the Pfizer vaccine which has proven to be greater than 94% effective in preventing COVID-19. You will receive the vaccination in two doses. The first will occur on January 22^nd, 2021 with the second occurring 21 days later.

At this time we are trying to gauge the interest that Independent Living residents have on receiving the vaccine on our campus. While we know it is high, we want to ensure that we are providing accurate numbers on the amount of individuals needing vaccinations. Independent Living residents who would like to receive the vaccine please let us know by calling 513.909.7935, responding via the app or emailing us at [email protected]. They must provide this notification to us by 5pm on Monday, January 18^th.

Again, the vaccination will occur between the hours of 8am and 4pm on Friday, January 22^nd. We will be sharing additional information, such as the specific timeslot for your neighborhood, as well as the consent forms on January 19^th. The vaccination will occur on the campus of Maple Knoll Village and shuttle service will be provided for those needing transportation. Please note this is only for current residents living on our campus. Thank you for your support and patience!

January 14, 2021 @ 12:42 pm

We wanted to provide you with an update on what is occurring with vaccinations and restrictions on our campus. Please know that Maple Knoll Communities has been working closely with Walgreens, our national pharmacy provider, for the past two months preparing for the availability of a COVID-19 vaccine. Yesterday, our Skilled Nursing residents and staff received their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by Walgreens. We are also pleased to share that we were able to have our Assisted Living residents and staff receive their first vaccination yesterday as well. They will receive their second vaccination on February 2^nd. This is one step closer to having all of our residents vaccinated. We are also working to get staff vaccinated so that we can safely bring programming and services back for all residents to enjoy. We appreciate your patience as we work through this.

Our Infection Preventionist continues to push for our Independent Living residents to receive the vaccination yet we do not have answers on when this will occur. As previously shared, we are at the mercy of Governor Dewine’s orders and the vaccine availability through Walgreens. Also, a reminder that as we balance Maple Knoll’s desire to be transparent with our need to protect the privacy of the residents we serve, we are unable to release information on specific test results for Independent Living residents. We will continue to share positive cases of staff, skilled and assisted residents and we will work with the local health department to assist with contract tracing and will notify you if you should be quarantined. We will continue to provide updates on vaccinations and changes to campus restrictions as they are available. Thank you for your patience and continued support!

Although none of our assisted living residents have tested positive to date we still have to prepare for that possibility. We have recently created a COVID isolation unit in Bodmann specifically to care for any of our residents who test positive for COVID. This is to reduce the possibility of spread among our community and to provide necessary nursing care in these instances. So moving forward any Assisted Living Resident in Breese Manor will be moved to this unit upon receiving a positive COVID result and will stay on the unit for the duration of their isolation time as determined by our Infection Preventionist under the direction of the Medical Director.

Updated Maple Knoll Communities’ Visitation Policy for Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living

To allow indoor visitation is a decision our facilities make on a weekly basis. This decision is based on three factors : the county positivity rate, our current color designation on the Ohio Public health advisory map, and whether or not we have had a staff or resident recently test positive for COVID. Visitation will be placed on hold in the event of any staff or resident testing positive for COVID in the previous two weeks, the respective county being “red” or “purple” in color on the Ohio Public Health Advisory System map; and/or the county positivity rate being 5% or greater.

https://data.cms.gov/stories/s/COVID-19-Nursing-Home-Data/bkwz-xpvg/ – link to county positivity rates

https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/covid-19/public-health-advisory-system – link to advisory map

Both links are updated weekly

These current guidelines are subject to change at the discretion of the facility and/or changes to government regulations. Thank you for your patience.

October 29, 2020 @ 11:45 am

At this time, the very high exposure and prevalence of community COVID-19 high-incidence spread identified by Butler and Hamilton County on the Ohio Public Health Advisory System constitutes a reasonable, clinical cause that prevents us once again from allowing general indoor visitation. Additionally, all outdoor visitation will be temporarily suspended for the safety of our residents. We will switch to remote visitation only through Skype, Zoom, etc. until further notice. The Pandemic Response Committee will continue to review the critical items weekly and adjust/allow visitation as criteria are met. Updates will be posted on this website every Thursday by 4 pm for the following week’s visitation plans.

October 27, 2020 @ 4:00 pm

A staff member in Bodmann nursing tested positive in the past week. They had no known close contacts with other staff or residents. However, CDC and federal guidelines now require increased levels of personal protective equipment by staff and nasal swab COVID testing of residents at least weekly for a minimum of 14 days. This testing will begin Wednesday 10/28.

According to an order issued on 10/8/20 by the Interim Health Director for the State of Ohio, indoor visitation in nursing facilities may be permitted as of October 12th, 2020. Each facility may allow indoor visitation based, in part, on case status in the surrounding community.
At this time, the very high exposure and prevalence of community COVID-19 spread identified by Butler and Hamilton County continuing to be at a Level 3 or “Red” on the Ohio Public Health Advisory System constitutes a reasonable, clinical cause that prevents us once again from allowing general indoor visitation at this time. The Pandemic Response Committee will continue to review the critical items weekly and adjust/allow visitation as criteria are met. Updates will be posted on this website every Thursday by 4 pm for the following week’s visitation plans.

Hamilton County is now on the “watch list” for sustained community spread. All outdoor visitation will be temporarily suspended for the safety of our residents. We will switch to solely remote visitation through Skype, Zoom, etc.
Thank you for your patience as we get closer to our shared goal of safe visitation.

Resident Visits at Maple Knoll Village- Updated September 25^th, 2020

At the Ohio Governor’s press conference yesterday, Director of Aging Ursel McElroy announced that the DeWine Administration will allow indoor visitation for residents of Ohio’s nursing homes and assisted living beginning October 12. “The prolonged loss of connection is critical,” said the Director, noting that they had consulted with aging advocates, including LeadingAge Ohio, to develop the guidelines for indoor visitation. “Indoor visitation does not signal that we can be less cautious,” she said, but rather we should be “more vigilant” in taking steps to protect residents. In addition to masks and handwashing, visitors should also be attuned to symptoms in themselves, their families and other people with whom they have contact.

As with outdoor visitation, visits will be required to be scheduled ahead of time, and visitors will undergo a health screening before entering the building. Facilities will keep a log of visitors. Changes include a visitation time limit of 30 minutes and a requirement that facilities provide masks to residents’ visitors. While there is no minimum age limit defined, all visitors must be able to wear a mask and follow social distancing requirements. In line with CMS guidelines, “Facilities will not restrict visitation without a reasonable clinical or safety cause.” The state will also launch a coronavirus dashboard, which will allow families/others to access a facility’s visitation information, including whether visitation is currently available, visiting hours and contact information for scheduling a visit. The dashboard will be posted to www.coronavirus.ohio.gov, and will be launched when visitation begins, on October 12.

Maple Knoll Village is currently developing a plan to provide indoor visits to loved ones in Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living while taking into consideration necessary precautions for their safety and wellbeing. We will continue to provide updates as available on our websites and mobile family and resident apps. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this unprecedented times.

September 25, 2020 @ 1:15 pm

Here at Maple Knoll Communities, we are closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation and, in accordance with The Ohio Department of Health, World Health Organization and Center for Disease Control,, are continuously evaluating our policies, procedures and taking extra precautions. Because the health and well-being of our residents and employees remains our first priority, we continue to make extensive preparations, realizing this situation has an unpredictable path. Maple Knoll Communities’ Corporate Infection Preventionist will be coordinating all precautions, screenings, supplies, education, updates and communication related to the virus.

We are committed to doing whatever is necessary to ensure the essential needs of our residents continue to be met. Thank you for your patience as we continue to work through what we deem is necessary to protect those living and working in our communities.

September 18, 2020 @ 5:30 pm

On July 20, 2020, Interim Director of Health Lance Himes signed a Director’s Order continuing to restrict access to Ohio’s long-term care facilities, including both nursing homes and assisted living centers.

During a press briefing (58 minute mark) on Thursday, September 17, 2020, Governor DeWine stated:
“If you have a loved one, and you cannot get into a nursing home, that is the nursing home that is stopping you from going in. It is not the Health Department.”

This is incorrect. LeadingAge Ohio has advocated for months for the reopening of safe indoor visitation, and is currently working with association partners and the DeWine Administration on guidance for that reopening. Neither the Governor nor the Ohio Department of Health have given providers guidance or permission to resume indoor visitation, and the Administration later clarified that indoor visitation has not yet been reopened by the state.

Per the still-active July 20 Director’s Order:

Nursing facilities and assisted living centers must continue to restrict access and are not permitted to offer indoor visitation.

The order applies to: nursing facilities, residential care facilities (RCFs) which includes assisted living, and ICF/IIDs.
Access continues to be restricted only to personnel necessary to the operation of the Homes.
No visitors of residents are permitted to enter any Home, except for end-of-life situations.

Nursing facilities and assisted living centers may continue to offer outdoor visitation.

Providers are asked to prepare a comprehensive plan before reopening outdoor visitation.
Outdoor visitation policies must include visitor screening, mask requirements, adequate staffing, and more.
Visits at nursing homes/RCFs shall not exceed one hour in length, nor are more than three visitors allowed per resident per visit.

LeadingAge Ohio continues to work with association partners and the Administration on a plan to reopen indoor visitation.

“When the Governor stated that nursing homes were to blame for ongoing visitation restrictions, we heard an immediate outcry from providers around the state. Our members continue to follow state and federal regulations pertaining to visitation, and at no point have Ohio providers been given guidance or permission to offer indoor visitation from the Administration.”

LeadingAge Ohio president and CEO Kathryn Brod

We are pleased to announce that the Governor and the Ohio Department of Health have announced the Responsible RestartOhio which will positively impact our residents residing in Assisted Living. Effective Monday 6/8/2020 visitors will be permitted for outdoor patio visitation in Breese Manor Assisted Living only.

Please click on Educational Information for all residents and family members to access additional requirements and a one time waiver. The guidelines set forth by the state require that family members must be screened for a temperature below 100.00 and symptom screening for COVID-19. Hand Sanitizer will be available and used upon arrival for visitation. Visitors agree to no physical contact and abide by 6 foot social / physical distancing requirements. There can be no personal contact. Drop off of items in front entry remains the same. Visitors must wear a mask covering the nose and mouth throughout the visit. The resident must also wear a mask. Visits will be in structured settings designed for social distancing and monitored to address any issues of misuse of facial coverings or lack of cooperation with social distancing. No pets will be allowed on the patios for visitation.

Unfortunately, failure to abide by the outdoor visitation policies/procedures may result in suspension of visits until compliance is achieved or at the discretion of the Facility.

Please call the Activity Coordinator phone number at (513) 782-4323 to make an appointment for two (2) visitors only, at one time, per resident in 30 minute increments between 10am -12noon and 1 pm – 4pm being the last appointment, Monday through Saturday. We have 4 areas on the patio to the left of the Breese Manor entrance. Please do not move the chairs/benches from designated areas. If these fill there will be 3 areas on the patio just outside of the main dining room.

As always, your family member is our responsibility as all residents are in Breese Manor. You may reach Laurie Westermeyer, our Director of Assisted Living and Village Care, for any questions you may have at (513) 782-4322.

Please note that we will continue to monitor changes that may allow for future visits with Skilled Nursing residents. We will notify families as they are made available to us by the Governor and the Ohio Department of Health. Thank you for your patience.

We are continuing to monitor the progression of the COVID-19 virus and wanted to provide you with an update following Governor Mike DeWine’s recent recommendations as well as updates for our campus specifically. These include:

We are pleased to share that as of today, June 2nd, 2020, we have not had a single positive resident COVID-19 case at Maple Knoll Village.
Beginning June 8^th, we will be able to offer expanded outdoor family visits in Assisted Living. Additional information will be forthcoming such as screening procedures, usage of masks and social distancing. Skilled Nursing facilities are still required to restrict access to their buildings which means no visitors at this time. We are working closely with the Ohio Department of Health and CMS to follow their guidelines on when we are legally and safely allowed to open. At this time there is not a date for this to occur.
Common Spaces such as activity areas, wellness center, library, Cheers Pub, etc. remain closed at this time. Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living facilities will also remain on quarantine for the safety of those living in our communities. While many fitness centers have been allowed to open, we still fall under different regulations and guidelines as our Wellness Center is located in our health care building. Please note that all guidelines are being followed in conjunction with requirements by the Governor’s office.
Independent Living Activities Directors are working with the Pandemic Committee to determine what activities can be brought back in a modified manner to safely meet resident entertainment needs. Additional information will be provided in upcoming weeks.
We have been able to open our Beecher Dining Room. We will follow strict guidelines as recommended by The Ohio Department of Health and the Center for Disease Control. Shuttle services are being provided. Reservations are required and will need to be made by 4pm the day prior and can be made by calling 513.782.2418. Delivery options will still be available for those in need, as requested. Dining times are as follows:
Monday-Sunday Lunch Service: Seating available from 12:00pm until 1:30pm
Monday-Saturday Dinner Service: Seating available at 4:30pm, 5:00pm, 5:30pm and 6:00pm
Governor DeWine has mandated that beauty salons can open effective May 15th with new guidelines and restrictions. Unfortunately, due to the location of our Main Street and Looking Glass Salons, we just received updated information from The Ohio Department of Health stating that we will be unable to open to residents in any level of care at this time.
Independent Living patients that currently use the clinic and have one of our doctors as their Primary Care Physician may still call the clinic at 782.2448 and request a tele-health appointment if they need to speak to a doctor. Again, because of our clinic location we are not allowed to open the space at this time for Independent Living residents per The Ohio Department of Health. We are also working to provide our residents access to physicians’ main offices that are located outside of Maple Knoll’s campus. Information on outside office hours is available by calling the clinic.
Independent Living Housekeeping has resumed on a limited service basis as part of our Pandemic Housekeeping Service schedule.
Independent Living Residents MUST wear masks while an employee is in their home and also practice social distancing as much as possible. We also encourage all residents to wear masks when out in the community. Maple Knoll Village is providing one mask per person in Independent Living. You may request a mask by calling 513.909.7935.
We will continue to have all staff and necessary vendors wear medical masks while on Maple Knoll’s campus to protect our residents. Enhanced screening technology has been purchased for our location.
Our internal Pandemic Committee will continue to meet twice a week and provide daily reports from the Corporate Risk Manager to the Committee.

May 24, 2020 @ 4:15 pm

This includes: continuation of delivering of meals and essential items, restriction on group activities and access to common spaces, screening of all essential employees and vendors who enter our facility, mandatory quarantine of residents in Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing and suggested stay at home order by recommendation of the Governor for residents in Independent Living.
We will continue to have all staff wear medical masks while on Maple Knoll’s campus to protect our residents. In addition, The Center for Disease Control issued the recommendation that citizens wear face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain, especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.
Independent Living residents are asked to limit your exposure by only having necessary visitors and encouraging them to wear a mask.
Continuation of the meeting of an internal Pandemic Committee twice a week as well as daily reports by the Corporate Risk Manager to the Committee.
We would like to remind you that if you are experiencing symptoms, such as fever (temperature greater than 100 degrees F), cough, and/or shortness of breath, please self-quarantine and contact Aaron Steckman, Infection Preventionist at [email protected] or 513.782.2731 (office) or (513)365-9527 (cell).
