COVID-19 Response & Vaccine Update

December 30, 2021

Dear Century Park Residents and Family Members,

On Monday, December 27, 2021, the CDC updated their guidance recommending a five-day isolation and quarantine period for the general population. As a company Century Park Associates will not be following these recommendations. We will be holding to the original guidance of a ten-day isolation period because we cannot compromise the health and safety of our residents and associates.

We are also noticing a huge increase in COVID-19 cases across the country. The new Omicron variant does not appear to be as deadly as Delta and the original COVID variants, however we are seeing increased risk for those who are not vaccinated and have serious comorbidities. Most of our seniors have received the vaccine and their booster shots, however they still can contract the COVID-19 virus and display cold like to no symptoms while spreading the virus. This has imposed higher risk to those adults and children unable to receive the vaccine. We are requesting that vaccinated and unvaccinated residents wear masks indoors when they leave their apartment and when in group activities over the next two weeks. Most of our communities have over a 96% vaccination rate for residents, however it is extremely important that our residents wear masks when leaving the community and socializing with others.

We are part of a community and a family. In a family, people make sacrifices for each other daily. Over the next two weeks, we are requesting that all our residents wear their masks when leaving their apartment so that you can protect your own family and your Century Park Family as well. Due to severe staff shortages across the country, each one of our associates staying well and healthy is paramount to you receiving the high caliber of service to which you are accustomed. It is also paramount that we mitigate the spread of this infectious variant. We continue to require mask wearing for all visitors.

This decision was not made lightly. We are thankful for your understanding and support. And we are hopeful that this season will only last a short time.

Sincerely,
Esmerelda Lee
Chief Operating Officer/EVP
