To our Residents, Families, Team Members, and Community:
As part of our ongoing commitment to the safety and well-being of our residents and team members, we are providing another COVID-19 update. We will continue to provide weekly COVID-19 updates in the following weeks as well.
As of this week, Birmingham Green has five team members and 36 residents from our Health Center (Nursing Home) who have tested positive for COVID-19. Generally, those who have tested positive for COVID-19 have had mild symptoms or are asymptomatic. The District Home and Willow Oaks have zero positive COVID-19 cases among residents or team members.
The affected team members are currently isolating at home and the residents are isolating in their rooms, pursuant to current policies and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. For more information about COVID-19 illness after vaccination, please visit the CDC’s website.
Due to outbreak and a high transmission rate in the county, our team members and residents will be tested twice per week. Birmingham Green’s team member vaccination rates are currently:
Vaccinated
Northern Virginia Health Care: 100%
Willow Oaks: 98.6%
District Home: 100%
Overall: 99.6%
Received Booster
Northern Virginia Health Care: 66%
Willow Oaks: 55%
District Home: 27%
Overall: 49.3%
We are continuing to follow CDC and CMS recommendations and all team members will continue to wear the appropriate PPE and masks, as well as perform proper infection control measures and stringent cleaning protocols. We will continue to ask all residents and visitors, regardless of vaccination status, to always wear masks and physically distance themselves during visitation.
We encourage you to visit birminghamgreen.org/covid-updates for the latest updates, visitation information, safety protocols, and COVID-19 resources. You can also get our latest COVID-19 updates by calling our dedicated COVID-19 hotline at (703) 257-6282. We remain committed to the safety and well-being of our residents and team members, and we thank you for your patience during this challenging time.
Our residents are at the center of all that we do. Their safety and the safety of our team members will always be our priority.
