Covid-19 Information
December 2, 2022
Residents/Family/Friends/Staff,
Covid Update: With the recent COVID outbreak, Hamilton County being in "High/red" community COVID transmission status, and increased cases of influenza among staff and residents, Beechwood has decided to cancel any plans we had in the works for a Christmas Dinner for families. Beechwood will not be renting out rooms for family gatherings, due to the increase of infection spread with large gatherings. Please know that we will be providing our residents with a wonderful Christmas Dinner, and are decorating the facility in hopes of making this Christmas season as festive as possible, while maintaining the highest level of safety. We welcome families to continue to come in and visit with residents, however, we do strongly recommend the use of masks while in the facility, and strongly encourage meeting in resident's rooms to avoid germ spread.
Giving Tree: We are happy to announce that our annual Resident Giving Tree selections will be virtual this year. Please visit https://signup.com/go/gAmhpDa to pull a tag. Please return the $25 max gift-wrapped item clearly displaying the gift # to the Garden Level Receptionist by December 15th. For those who chose to participate, thanks for your willingness to bring our amazing residents joy during this holiday season. If you have any questions, contact Rob Chapman at rchapman@beechwoodhome.com or call 513-321-9294 and ask for Rob or Darren.
Voice Activated Devices: We recommend that family/friends contact Sarah @ sapfeld-inman@beechwoodhome.com or 513-321-9294 to inquire if the therapy team feels that your loved one can successfully use a voice activated device before purchasing this holiday season.
Life Safety: As the holiday season is upon us, we would like to take this opportunity to remind all of our residents and staff of a few safety items. These are very important for our overall safety and that of your neighbors. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact Charlie at 513 760 4986

Good Afternoon Everyone,
RED= Hamilton County: Per public health regulations, all visitors are strongly recommended to wear a surgical mask during the duration of their visit to the facility while Hamilton County's community transmission categorization is red. Signs are posted at the entrance as a reminder.
Tripledemic: Heading into the third covid winter is being complicated by flu and RSV infections at unprecedented levels currently. The Emergency Preparedness Committee recommends visitors only spend time in their loved one's room until further notice to reduce the possible spread of respiratory illnesses as much as possible to those who reside here.
Request: If you are experiencing signs/symptoms of a respiratory illness or have been in close contact with someone who is currently sick, we ask that you refrain from visiting the facility. While we are no longer mandated to symptom check visitors, it is in the best interest of everyone who lives here to minimize exposure as much as possible.
Please contact Heather Hefren (Director of Social Services), Nichole Bond (Administrator) or Patricia Clark (CEO) with questions/comments/concerns.
Sincerely,
Nichole Bond (Administrator) & Patricia Clark, DM (CEO, Administrator)

September 29, 2022 Communication
Residents/Family/Friends/Staff,
- CMS Updates: CMS recently released updates pertaining to LTC facilities during the ongoing pandemic. After consultation with our consultants, below are the highlights which will impact the facility.
- Outbreak testing (relaxation): the close contact outbreak testing protocol is now immediately after exposure was identified (day 1), 48 hours later (day 3) and 48 hours later (day 5).
- Symptomatic testing (new regulation): Residents experiencing symptoms of a respiratory illness, must enter mandated isolation regardless of vaccination status in their room until either a PCR test comes back negative or two negative rapid tests results are obtained swabbed 48 hours apart.
- Staff testing (relaxation): Routine staff testing is no longer mandated. The Beechwood Home will continue to proactively test all staff on a weekly basis in an attempt to protect our Residents as much as possible without impacting their day-to-day experience.
- Entrance Screening (relaxation): Temperature and symptom screening for visitors and staff are no longer required. VISITORS MUST CONTINUE TO SIGN IN FOR LIFE SAFETY COMPLIANCE.
- Masking (relaxation): If/when "community level transmission" is orange or below on CMS's County profile for our County, masking is no longer mandated. Hamilton County is currently "orange". Due to the global increase in covid cases and the anticipation that the "community level transmission" will turn "red" again, staff will continue to wear surgical masks in an attempt to protect our Residents as much as possible. While masks for Visitors are no longer mandated, it is highly encouraged. Please be aware that "community level transmission" data is routinely updated and there may come a time soon when surgical masks are again mandated for everyone per regulation. #Sept1360
MyCare Ohio Open Enrollment: For those with Ohio Medicaid and enrolled in the MyCare Ohio program, open enrollment occurs during the month of November with changes going into effect 1/1/2023. Please let Heather know if you would like any changes made to your insurance arrangement and she will identify who is earmarked with HCJFS to initiate the change. You may be contacted by Social Services to discuss an insurance change if a department at the facility feels a different insurance arrangement would be in the best interest of your loved one.
Best Wishes to Scot: Scot Harmon has been our administrator for the last five years and has tirelessly led our facility through some of the most challenging and quite frankly unimaginable times for those working and residing in long term care with phenomenal success. Friday (9/30/22) will be Scot's last day as he embarks on a new career adventure. Patricia Clark (our CEO) will be standing in as our Administrator until Scot's replacement has been oriented to our facility.
As always, if you have any questions, please contact:
Heather Hefren hhefren@beechwoodhome.com(Director of Social Services) OR Patricia Clark pclark@beechwoodhome.com(CEO).

September 1, 2022 - 360 Care
Residents/Family/Friends/Staff,
Calls from 360 Care: It has come to our attention that Residents and/or their Responsible Parties are receiving calls from 360 Care selling additional medical insurance products for a monthly premium. 360 Care has been providing these services to Beechwood Home residents. Please be aware that The Beechwood Home has NOT agreed to partner with the 360 Care Resident Insurance premium program and we are NOT involved with its development.
This initially came to our attention in April 2022 when letters were initially mailed out. While it is being advertised as free, you will be billed up to $290.00/month for coverage Medicaid already provides. We will be contacting 360 Care again indicating that they are not authorized to use our name in any of their marketing materials or to mislead people into thinking that The Beechwood Home has an active contract with them for these additional insurance products. We apologize for any confusion this has caused. Please contact Heather @ Hhefren@beechwoodhome.com with questions.
As always, if you have any questions/comments/concerns, please contact me, Scot Harmon (Administrator), or Patricia Clark (CEO).
