It happened this noon. We had been alerted by this mornings front page where they told of a "home care Facility" in Blair, NE being closed because of the Coronavirus. We got the word from our head nurse here at Brookdale as we prepared to eat our noon meal. It was our last meal to be served in the Dining Room. In the foreseeable future meals will be delivered to the rooms. Breakfast will be delivered with the evening meal. All meals will be delivered in "disposable" dishes and thrown away with our regular garbage. (It will be picked up by staff if put outside your door.) The Front Door will be locked. Deliveries will be dropped off with Deb at the doorway and can be picked up from her. Nothing is to come in through the Patio Doors. All entertainment is cancelled but some social events can be held in the Dining Room with a minimum of 6 feet maintained between individuals. The double doors that separate the Independent from the Assisted Living area will be locked. One of the NU Step Exercise Bikes will be moved to the Library and times can be reserved in half hour increments. We had our first delivered meal this evening with a small styrafoam cup of coffee and a lemon bar for dessert. The "entry" was mainly noodles with tomatoes and mixed vegetables in it. I never had to eat a "school lunch" but from what I've heard, this might have been a sample. I did set out on the Patio for a while this afternoon.
