Questions


• If you have any questions, contact Director of Communications and Technology Jeff Rausis at [email protected].

• We may include answers to your questions in our next communication.

If we have a case at PVE


• If we have any confirmed cases of COVID-19—whether it be a resident, team member, or vendor—we will alert everyone immediately.

•Elvie Gabionza, our Infection Preventionist, has a detailed plan in place and has already initiated our surge plan as a precaution, and we are ready to admit residents with the virus.

If we have a case at PVE (contd.)


•Our quarantine policy has been in place since March 17. We have already quarantined residents who were possibly exposed (all have tested negative).

•Anyone infected will be isolated immediately, and we will continue to protect all residents and team members with our standard social distancing and screening protocols.

Tips from the Mask Makers


• The Mask Makers will start making masks for residents once all the team members have masks. Until then, here are other types of masks suggested by Robert Lunning that you can wear:

o Dust Mask: Use a dust mask like the kind used in work shops or the kind used during the fires two years ago. PVE passed out nice masks during that time. You may have one hidden in a closet that you forgot about.

Tips from the Mask Makers (contd.)


o Bandana: Cut an old t-shirt, shirt or night gown into a two-foot square piece of fabric (two feet on each side). No sewing necessary. Fold it one time into a large triangle. Place it over your nose and tie a knot behind your head with the two corners. If tying the knot behind you head is too difficult, tie the knot in front of your face and spin the bandanna so the knot is in the back of your head. A no-sew Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid memorial mask.

Gas


• If your car is getting low on gas, contact Maintenance at 707-432-1160.

•Maintenance is keeping a few full cans for residents who need a couple of gallons for driving around campus.

Reminder: Canceling Housekeeping Services


• Although Housekeeping services have been reinstated at PVE, residents can opt-out.

• Contact Debbie Bacon at [email protected] 707-474-2114 if you’d like to cancel or reschedule Housekeeping services.
