COVID-19 Visitation Guidance Update - September 2, 2021
The Trousdale's continued response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
Eskaton began scheduling COVID-19 vaccine clinics in our communities as soon as the opportunity arose. This process was accomplished through the state pharmacy program in collaboration with CVS and Walgreens pharmacies. We have also had county public health and a private health system reach out to assist our staff and residents to obtain a vaccination.
Our first clinic was held at
Eskaton Care Center Fair Oaks on Dec. 30th where staff and residents received the first of two doses from Walgreens staff. Since then, all communities have now finished their first clinic and some have completed all three. This includes affordable housing, residential living and care centers. We are very excited to add this option to our toolbox of interventions designed to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus. We are hopeful that the vaccines will bring us a step closer to opening our communities to family and friends once again.

Live Well at Home – Non-Medical Home Care
For Older Adults and their Families
We continue to follow diligent infection control protocols in each of our communities per CDC and CDPH guidelines.
Protect yourself at home and in the community:
- Practice social distancing (6 feet or more distance from others) when possible. Stay away from anyone coughing or sneezing – particularly, if you do not know the person.
- Practice good hand washing/ hand hygiene frequently.
- If you are sick: Stay home and self-isolate if you have flu symptoms or a fever.
- If you are sick, call the physician, clinic or hospital before you visit them. Do not go to a clinic or hospital with symptoms without calling first – they will instruct you on the proper procedures.
- We encourage all those who are eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Click here to register for your vaccination. Continue to wear a face mask/face covering when in public to protect yourself and others.
