Petersen Health Care is prepared to defend against Covid-19

We are dedicated to providing a safe and secure environment for everyone in all Petersen Health Care owned properties and together, along with the CDC, IDPH, AHCA, HFS, NCAL, local Health Departments, local hospitals and healthcare professionals, we have prepared for the Coronavirus COVID-19.

To provide additional peace of mind to you – the residents, families, and partners we are so honored to serve, please be aware that we are especially committed and continue to actively monitor the global situation and daily communications are shared from all agencies so we are up to date on the latest exposure, testing, challenges, and risks involved with this crisis.

Common Questions

We understand that due to these restrictions communication has been limited, but we have introduced other ways that you can interact with your loved ones, and still keep them safe. These communication tools include:

  • Skype
  • FaceTime
  • Writing Letters
  • Facebook Messenger
  • Facebook Video Chat
  • Facebook Video Messages

We’re here to help with any of these tools to keep you in touch with your loved ones. If you’re not already, follow us on Facebook for updates on the activities we’re doing daily to keep our residents active and busy during this “Shelter in Place” initiative.

Petersen Cares About You

We cannot thank you enough for your patience and cooperation as we prepare, respond, and help safeguard our residents, team members, and communities.

In a situation such as this, we must all be proactive, responsive and flexible. The difficult decision to restrict visitation was necessary to protect our most vulnerable population. Thank you for your understanding as we navigate this unprecedented crisis together. Each day you place an enormous amount of trust in us, and keeping that trust means making the decisions necessary to protect our most vulnerable population.

Each day you place an enormous amount of trust in us, and now more than ever we are committed to keeping it.

#PetersenCares Initiative

“Hard times don’t create heroes. It is during the hard times when the “Hero” within us is revealed.”

Through the #PetersenCares initiative we want to know those heartwarming stories and reach out with any assistance we are able to provide, including meals, necessities, or safety. In many of our communities, the Senior Center meal delivery programs have been suspended for safety reasons, and we’ve been able to intervene and start delivering meals of our own to those seniors who would otherwise go without. Food pantries are starting to discontinue services, so we’ve started a food drive in each of the communities we serve, donating them to Emergency Services, Churches, and more.

These are the stories we want to hear and highlight, the good that is being done in a time of crisis, and provide our assistance where we can.

Share your stories and use our hashtag to bring us all together.
