COVID-19 Second Booster Dose
The CDC recently released a recommendation for a second COVID-19 booster dose for certain persons. Specifically, a second mRNA booster dose could benefit people ages 50 years and older, as they are at increased risk for severe COVID-19. People ages 50 years and older may choose to receive a second booster dose, if it has been at least 4 months after the first booster. We recommend that appropriate residents receive their second booster dose. The COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer or Moderna) are available. Please let your physician or nurse know right away if you or your loved one would like to receive the second booster.

Julia Smyth
Dementia Program DirectorI have been here for several years and have had the opportunity to experience one-on-one care as a Certified Nursing Assistant with residents who resided on a Memory Unit. I obtained a degree in Psychology from Concord University in 2013 and had intended to conduct research on Sensation and Perception and the way that these can affect mood and behaviors. My grandparents became ill around the time of my graduation and we had a difficult time caring for them during the transition phase between falling ill and being diagnosed. My Grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2016 and not long after my Grandmother was diagnosed with Dementia. I decided to change my career path and become a Certified Nursing Assistant in order to gain a better understanding of Dementia/Parkinson's in terms of behaviors and stages. I was able to gain this understanding while working on the Memory Unit as a Certified Nursing Assistant. I fell in love with engaging in meaningful interactions with the residents as well as providing care to individuals who experience Dementia/Alzheimer's/Parkinson's. At that time, I had understood that I had found my walk in life. My goal as the Director of the memory support unit is to help make a difference in the lives of affected individuals by encouraging meaningful interactions as well as providing staff with education based on the most progressive techniques to understand behavior and the importance of a daily routine, including activities that your loved one prefers to participate in.
