Daily Briefing, May 26, 2020

 

  • Good afternoon Fowler Family!
  • Today is Teammate Tuesday!
  • We remain in Code Red High Risk Zone in Dallas
    • Yesterday we reported 170 new cases and no deaths
    • It’s the first day the county has not reported deaths since May 10
    • To date, we have had 8998 cases and 211 deaths in Dallas County
  • I want to go over a couple of points about our plans to open our community – we are in Phase 2 of 6 phases and we intend to be slow and steady
    • We have received a question about walking dogs in adjoining parks.
      • At this time, you should walk your dog in our 25-acre park-like community
    • Some of you have expressed concern about the fairness of our opening plans
      • Yes, we recognize everyone does not have a car
      • Our decisions are not based on specific people – I don’t know who has a car and who does not
      • These decisions are based on money or favoritism
      • Our decisions are based on what provides the least amount of risk
      • We are not eliminating all risk
      • There has been concern about those who are driving offsite are not going to follow the rules and put everyone else at risk
        • We cannot mitigate all risk
        • We will continue to address the violations that are reported to us
      • As it relates to a sense of disparity
        • Our residents in PNCC can anticipate the last of the restrictions
        • This is being governed by law
      • Everywhere along the phase, there is going to be someone who has more or less than we do
      • At some point, we will not have restrictions
      • If you are driving, reach out to a neighbor who does not drive and see if they would like to take a ride
      • There is a lot of talk about the dining rooms
        • At this time, we believe the dining room poses risk to you
        • You are welcome to have your meals in apartments with friends
        • Schedule your own dining party – you have endcap dining rooms in many of our hallways
        • We recommend you minimize your own risk by spending time with people who are compliant
      • Regulations do not allow us to have communal dining in assisted living or licensed nursing
    • We all acknowledge this is hard
    • We are all frustrated – its normal
    • Practice Gratitude – find something to be thankful for
    • Let’s focus on what we can do instead of focusing on what I can’t do
  • Erin Mason – its’ teammate Tuesday!
    • New teammates
      • Shequita – new housekeeper
      • Vanessa – new housekeeper
      • Simone – new Life Enrichment Coordinator at Jackson Living Center
      • Kenny – new sous chef, Executive Chef at Highland Park Cafeteria
