Graceland Gardens must have a documented “Outbreak Plan” as required by N.J.S.A.26:2H-12.87. The plan includes, but is not limited to, lessons learned from the response to and experience with COVID-19. Our plan includes a strategy for effective and clear communication with associates, residents, and families about any infectious disease outbreak.

Graceland Gardens will utilize appropriate methods to communicate information on mitigating actions implemented by our community to prevent the risk of transmission.
Our community strives to use the appropriate methods to provide cumulative updates for residents and families of those living in our community if a breakout occurs. Such methods may include but are not limited to pre-recorded messages, Facetime calls, Zoom calls, group emails distributed directly to families, and through website postings to advise them of curtailed visitation periods.
Graceland Gardens will utilize all available resources to secure and provide staffing to meet the needs of the residents in the event of an infectious disease breakout. During emergencies, volunteers may be accessed or recruited through credentialing agencies and organizations.
We will utilize third-party providers for supplemental staffing as necessary.
Graceland Gardens will display on our website and/or social media platforms and include communication to families, guardians and the public, a phone number or method of communication for urgent calls or complaints.
Navigating the challenges of COVID-19 together, we strive to do everything we can to ensure peace of mind for residents, associates, and families.
