COVID-19 Update – June 27, 2022

By

June 27, 2022 

Dear Village at Belmar Community, 

I am happy to inform you that we had zero residents and zero associates this past round of testing, Thursday June 23, and we will once again enter exit outbreak testing which means we will test Tuesday of this week. If we get all negatives again, we will have one more round of testing the following week. Stay tuned.  Although visitation may continue according to guidance from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) we strongly encourage all families and friends to be very cautious in making the decision to visit because so many people are asymptomatic and can be contagious without realizing it. Please carefully consider the number of visitors as well as the frequency of visits. Per guidance all visiting needs to be completed in the resident’s suites and not in any common areas at this time. 

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. If you have any further questions, please reach out to me, Beth Williams, Interim Executive Director, at 303-351-5455 or Beth@ascentlc.com. 

Warm Regards, 

Beth Williams, 

Interim Executive Director 

THE PASSIONS PROJECT – LAKEWOOD: Featuring the Village at Belmar

By

This past weekend, we were elated to officially introduce THE PASSIONS PROJECT, a photographic exhibition featuring older adults from Lakewood, including the Village at Belmar, highlighting the art of living with passion and purpose. Working in partnership with the University of Denver’s Knoebel Institute for Healthy Aging and The Alameda Corridor Business Improvement District we will be sharing this incredible exhibition from nationally-recognized photographer Heidi Wagner that captures the essence of older adults doing what they love to do – from painting, to theater, to community service – to show a new view of aging and the importance of living with passion and purpose, making visible what is often unseen; a new view of aging that includes vitality, independence and meaning.

Understanding Fatigue in Older Adults

By

Everyone feels tired now and then. But, after a good night’s sleep, most people feel refreshed and ready to face a new day. If you feel tired for weeks at a time, it’s time to see your doctor. He or she may be able to help you find out what’s causing your fatigue. In fact, your doctor may even suggest you become more active, as exercise may reduce fatigue and improve quality of life.

Dear Village at Belmar Community, 

We are writing to inform you that we had zero residents but unfortunately one associate that have tested positive from the testing completed on Monday 13, 2022. We are now back in outbreak which means we are back to testing two times per week. Our next testing is today June 16, 2022. 

We had a pretty good turnout to our booster clinic yesterday, thank you to all who assisted because it is a big undertaking. For our residents who couldn’t receive the booster because of receiving monoclonal treatment are considered up to date and will require their booster in three months. 

We did open our dining rooms and will remain optimistic that today’s testing will yield no more positives. Our culinary team is preparing a feast in honor of our fathers for Father’s Day. 

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. If you have any further questions, please reach out to me, Beth Williams, Interim Executive Director, at 303-351-5455 or Beth@ascentlc.com. 

Warm Regards, 

Beth Williams, Interim Executive Director
