Dear Extended Cobble Hill LifeCare Family,

Over the last few days we received notice of 3 staff members who have tested positive for COVID- 19. The staff members were taken off schedule and are recuperating at home. We also had 2 patients test positive, one from 1A and one from 3B. These patients were moved to a quarantine area. They have mild symptoms and are being closely monitored by our clinical team.

Given the contagiousness of this strain, we are encouraging as much virtual visitation as possible. We know for certain that some visitors have tested positive right after visiting which in turn caused their loves ones to be exposed and test positive.

If you choose to continue visiting your loved one in person, we will now require you to take a rapid COVID test on-site when you arrive. Please be patient as this takes time and we are working hard with fewer staff.

Please also know that visiting in person will also place you at risk. You have potential to be exposed during your visit.

If you have any specific questions or concerns about this, I encourage you to reach out to us via the COVID hotline at (718) 247-1153 or email us at covid19@cobblehill.org.

Thank you,

Stephanie Zevon
Director of Social work
