Stanford Seniors Village Community Update September 11, 2020
To Our Extended Family,
There continues to be no signs or symptoms of COVID-19 in any of our residents/tenants or staff here at Stanford Seniors Village, and for that we are very grateful. Should the status of our Community change in any respect, please know that we will immediately contact families.
We would like to thank those of you who have had a chance to visit loved ones, for following our protocols to help maintain everyone’s safety. Residents and families have all felt the effects of the difficult changes we have had to make, especially the reduced visits and activities. Our staff have felt it as well. They put kindness and care into their work, feel the difficulties of our residents and do their best to provide comfort and ease anxiety. We here at Stanford really do appreciate the co-operation and understanding we have received from everyone involved.
