Hello every one of you out there in our Wisconsin Wood County Community,
As Director of Park Place Adult Day Services. I am reaching out to all of you in this extremely vulnerable time of the Corona Virus pandemic in our Country. Please review the information on this page as to who we are and what we are doing to protect the people we serve in accordance with Governor Tony Evers' Health Order #12 Safer at Home guidelines.
Our outside Therapy volunteers at Park Place have temporarily stopped scheduling visits since the week of March 9, 2020 (Pet, Music, Art, Exercise, and Reading). Dedicated staff members, however, continue to provide activities that are safe, yet mind and body stimulating to those who come for the day. Monthly Community outings and a Memory Café we sponsor within the Centralia Center have been cancelled for the April events and we will not resume those activities until further notice.
Our Illness Policy is included in our enrollment packet and it is one we have had in place since the start of our operation in 1985. We pulled it out several weeks ago for present attendees and home caregivers to review and sign in the understanding of the guidelines we have always had in place. Anyone coming in now, staff or participant alike, have their temperatures taken and are assessed for cough, shortness of breath, any adverse condition, by myself, a Registered Nurse (RN). This information is documented on record before they enter our environment. Staff, participants and their caregivers have been given option to work or attend, based on their comfort level to be out in the community at this time. We continue to follow the DHS and CDC websites as well as governor emails daily.
