Working to Keep Residents and Staff Members Safe

Any staff member with symptoms of COVID, being tested for COVID, or having a diagnosis of COVID, are kept out of work until they have been symptom-free for several days, and cleared to return to work by the Monroe County Health Department. 

We have adapted the latest evidence-based local and federal health guidelines to protect residents and staff from the risk of COVID. These include:

• Requiring all staff to undergo health screening prior to reporting to work
• Screening all staff for symptoms and fever every time they enter our facilities 
• Universal masking for all staff while they are in our facilities
• Elimination of large resident group activities and communal dining
• Using virtual medical appointments whenever possible so that residents do not need to leave our buildings
• Screening all new residents on admission for possibility of recent COVID exposure or infection
• Regular disinfection of all units, nursing stations and treatment areas

Dementia/Behavioral Step-down

The challenges of memory impairment can require round-the clock vigilance, something that even the most devoted home caregivers cannot always provide. At the Highlands, we have the staff, security protections and expertise to care for your loved one at any stage of dementia. Our secure facility also provides step-down services, providing patients a supportive environment in the least restrictive setting necessary.

At The Highlands at Brighton, we combine excellence in ventilator care with a focus on mobility, independence and involvement in activities. We are one of only three facilities in Monroe County to have a Ventilator Unit. Our experienced medical and care teams will help you or your loved one to enjoy the opportunity to socialize and participate in activities of your choice—and, when possible, to have freedom from the ventilator itself.
