Capital Senior Living Completes First Round of COVID-19 Vaccinations at All Communities
February 18 2021 - 7:00AM
Capital Senior Living Corporation (the “Company”) (NYSE: CSU),
working with CVS Health and local health departments, has
completed the first round of COVID-19 vaccinations
at all its communities. To date, 89% of
residents and 42% of staff members have received at least
one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The Company intends
to make the vaccine available to residents and staff
members by hosting three vaccine
clinics at each of its communities.
The Company has also completed second-round
clinics at 68% of its communities. In
communities that have completed
two vaccine clinics, 75% of residents
and 34% of staff have received both doses of the
COVID-19 vaccine and are fully vaccinated.
“After eight weeks of intense activity, we have reached
another important milestone, offering all residents and
staff members access to their first dose of the
vaccine. Continuing our current pace, we expect to
complete nearly all of our second-round
clinics by the end of March, and all three rounds of
vaccination clinics by the end of April,” said Kimberly S.
Lody, President and CEO. “We are proud of the
way our communities have managed through the
challenges of the pandemic and the logistics of
the vaccination process. COVID-19 incidence rates
have declined across our portfolio, and we remain optimistic
that it will continue to trend favorably. Leading
indicators, such as leads and tours, are at their highest
levels since March 2020, indicating that demand for
seniors housing and services is beginning to
improve.”
The Company considers the safety of its residents and
staff paramount, and the
successful distribution of the
COVID-19 vaccine is a significant step in protecting
residents and returning to normal daily activities. While
enhanced safety measures, such as health screenings, social
distancing and mask wearing, will remain in
place for the near-term, many of the
Company’s communities are now allowing family visitation
for fully vaccinated residents. Visitors
are screened and escorted directly to residents’
apartments and required to always wear
masks while in the community.
The Company continues its internal education
campaign, “Together we are the difference,” developed to educate
and encourage employees and residents to get the vaccine.
Additionally, the Company has developed educational resources and
communication tools to help communities discuss the vaccine with
residents and staff members, helping to ease any
concerns. The Company is partnering with
CVS Health and local health departments to provide trained
personnel and supplies to administer the vaccine as well as
managing logistics to ship and store the vaccine per manufacturer
requirements.
Employees, residents, and families should look for
communications from their local Capital Senior
Living communities for clinic dates and times.
