As we move forward in 2021, we have been given a glimmer of hope with the news of a vaccine. Residents and healthcare workers in senior living communities have access to the vaccine much sooner than the general public. We expect to have access to the Moderna vaccine in early January.

As with all vaccinations, it will not be mandatory for residents who reside in one of our communities or employees who work in our organization to take the vaccine. Whether or not you choose to receive the vaccine is a decision that should be made with your healthcare professional.  For more information, please refer to the CDC website:  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/faq.html

If you are considering a move to a senior living community and interested in the COVID-19 vaccine, now may be the right time to make your move.  Our experience in the industry should make you feel confident in choosing a Laureate Group Senior Community in 2021.

A senior living community with experience and clinical expertise is more important than ever. While sharing our 50 year anniversary alongside a pandemic was not anticipated, it has shown us how resilient we are as an organization, as an employer, and as a leader in the senior living industry.

As our experience with COVID-19 continues, we remain vigilant in evaluating our policies and procedures and re-educating our staff. We are confident in our ability to handle these situations under the guidance of DHS, CDC and local health departments. In addition, we remain committed to open communication with our residents, families, and employees as we appreciate the responsibility we have been given as a provider in senior living.

Our employees have dedicated themselves to ensure the safety of our residents. They are connecting with them in different ways and it is because of the innovation and creativity of our staff, those who live at a Laureate Group Senior Living Community feel empowered and inspired to be who they want and do what they love.
