COVID-19 poses a significant threat to senior living communities. After modifying our visitation policies to comply with L.A. County Department of Public Health guidelines and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention best practices, it became important to devise a way to share our community with prospective residents. Video will allow us to show the very best the Gardens has to offer and get as close as we can to an onsite visit. Mt. San Antonio Gardens has a reputation for being open to lifelong learning and there have been countless examples of that during these last five months. Both our residents and prospective residents are picking up new tools and taking to the use of video in lieu of in-person visits. It’s been a learning and adapting process for all of us. We appreciate that Tripepi Smith has helped us hit the ground running by teaching us how to implement these new techniques.
