COVID-19 Vaccines at Renaissance Villages

Renaissance Village Rancho Belago faced challenges over the last year due to the Coronavirus pandemic. However, Rancho Belago is excited to report that the community is continuing to open up group activities and live entertainment. At the beginning of 2021, Renaissance Village Rancho Belago partnered with CVS Pharmacy and made it possible for residents and staff to receive their COVID-19 vaccinations in an easy on-site process. About 85% of residents took advantage of this opportunity, which provided them with more protection and peace of mind against exposure to COVID-19.

With many Californians receiving vaccinations throughout the state, the state sees a continuous decline in the number of positive COVID-19 cases. In addition, the COVID-19 vaccine eligibility is continuing to open to various groups of people. On Thursday, March 25, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that by April 1, vaccine eligibility would expand to Californians 50 and older. In addition, by April 15, eligibility will expand to everyone 16 and older.

The increase of vaccinated individuals also made it possible to change guidelines, which allowed the community to open its doors to residents’ family members and friends. Rancho Belago issued new policies to residents and family members for best practices when visiting indoors with residents. In addition, vaccinated residents and family members can also get those long-awaited hugs they have all missed. The community is also planning on celebrating the spring’s start by hosting an Outdoor Spring Social for residents at the beginning of April. There will be refreshments, and live entertainment.

Renaissance Village Rancho Belago is in the process of becoming a partner with Orthopaedic & Neurological Rehabilitation, Inc. (ONR, Inc.) This leading contract rehabilitation team provides Physical Therapy (PT), Occupational Therapy (OT), and Speech-Language therapy services. In addition, this partnership will bring these services to the Rancho Belago residents and enable them to receive the therapy services they need without leaving the community. This partnership will start on April 2, 2021, and we are excited about providing these services to residents.
