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.

Michael G. was at Ridgewood Center a little over 3 weeks and says he could not have done better!
He has “absolutely no complaints about the therapy here”. Through Physical and Occupational therapies, Michael went from needing minimum assistance to only needing distant supervision.
