The safety and well-being of our Residents and Employees is our top priority. With this in mind, Edgewood Summit will slowly and carefully resume some limited and still restricted services in incremental phases as our County, State and City begin to re-open. All phases of the plan for re-opening require the number of cases with our area and within our campus to remain below specific thresholds. The other requirements include: sufficient staffing, supplies of personal protective equipment and cleaning products and the ability to obtain testing and maintain the safety of all. The Residents of Edgewood Summit are considered a “high risk” population and therefore our strategies for re-opening will be slower than those for the general public and will not be the same as those similar, public businesses. The safest strategy is to “Stay at Home” and avoid all unnecessary and nonessential visits, travel and associations.
