Lexington, KY – March 4, 2020 – Sayre Christian Village has the honor of caring for 375 residents on our campus. Their safety and the safety of our team & volunteers is our highest priority. Our approach to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) begins with prevention and education, while ensuring our rapid response and emergency preparedness plans are in place. These scenarios mirror what the Center for Disease Control (CDC) is recommending to prevent and combat this new virus.
In addition to following the CDC and the Kentucky Public Health System guidelines and protocols, we are in constant communication with our state association and our medical director to ensure that we have the latest news and updates, should recommendations change. We are actively educating all staff members to ensure they are aware of the protocols on disease control and prevention.
Sayre Christian Village just completed our annual state health inspection, performed by the Office of the Inspector General February 4 – 6th, and are proud to announce that we received no deficiencies in nursing services or infection control.
Please help us prevent infections.
Visitors and family members, please wash your hands before entering units/residents’ rooms and use the hand sanitizers located throughout our buildings.
