To Families of Woodland Care Center:
In person outdoor visits have resumed:
We have launched a new online scheduler for family visits. Please visit https://woodlandfamilyvisit.as.me/ and sign up for a time slot using the RESIDENTS name. The link is also available on our FACEBOOK page, or you can call the facility and schedule with staff.
In our last testing cycle (Tuesday January 5th, we had 1 positive covid test result) and this person has not had patient contact or close contact with other staff. The health department is monitoring, but we are still considered outbreak-free.

Today is the last day of 2020,
The majority of our Skilled Nursing Facility staff and residents have been vaccinated. We received, from CVS/Walgreens, the Pfizer vaccine on Monday and will continue to vaccinate our Assisted Living facility and staff. CVS will complete the second step of vaccinations going into the month of February 2021.

It has been nearly a month since our first positive case and as of today we have only one staff positive case and no resident cases. In total, there have been 5 resident positives (3 resolved and 2 expired) and 3 staff, all resolved. We will test staff again tomorrow 12/15/20. If no positive cases arise, we will be considered out of outbreak status and able to rejoin Washington phased re-opening guidelines. We are hopeful that we will be able to resume the re-opening coinciding with vaccine distribution, which should arrive, at the earliest, next week. We will keep these updates going in the event of any new cases or new outbreaks. Thank you for you patience and trust in mitigating this challenge.
Updated 12/15/2020 9:30am: In our reporting of results, I made an error of addition. We had 3 total staff positive cases, not 4. The result of our residents is still 5 (3 resolved, 2 expired). All updates have been edited to reflect this change.
