Distinctive Living COVID-19 Updates
Dear Residents, Families, and Visitors:
Our team at Distinctive Living is happy to report that COVID-19 cases are dropping across the country. Because of these decreasing cases, we will be adding back some of the programs that many of you have looked forward to over the years. These programs include restaurant outings, guest dining, and social events revolving around food and drinks. We are excited for these programs to return, but please know that if we have COVID-19 cases in the community, we will have to put certain events on hold until the community is COVID-19 free.
Safety is our number one priority, so we will continue testing our associates every 2 weeks for COVID-19 and require our associates to wear masks while working in the community. We will also continue to screen visitors, associates, etc.
Since there is very little new COVID-19 information to report, we will be discontinuing this COVID-19 weekly update. Despite the discontinuing of this weekly update, we will still ensure any new information related to COVID-19 is communicated to you. We understand the importance of keeping you informed.
Feel free to reach out to your community director team if you have any questions regarding community events and offerings. They will be happy to assist you.We are excited to see you and spend time with you in our dining rooms. We hope to see you soon!
The health and wellness of our residents, associates, and family is our number one priority. Vaccinations, mask-wearing, hand washing, and social distancing will help protect our loved ones and yours. We thank you for your continued support of these measures.
COVID-19 Resources
We have curated a list of helpful resources offering further information on COVID-19:
Distinctive Living COVID-19 Guidelines
Here are the measures we have put in place to care for our residents in a safe and healthy environment.
All community associates must wear masks during their shift and gloves while providing direct care to residents. Associates are required to wear an N95 mask, face shield, gown, and gloves if there are respiratory symptoms of unknown cause or a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19. We have also returned to every other week testing of associates until further notice.
All residents are required to wear masks when they are not inside of their apartments.
Residents receive a daily COVID-19 screening for the identification of symptoms listed by the CDC. Residents leaving the community will be screened upon their return.
Arriving visitors must wear masks and receive a screening and temperature before being eligible to enter. All visitors must comply with the visitation policies and procedures in place.
We are also making sure that our environment remains clean by cleaning all high-touch surfaces multiple times a day with EPA-approved products used to fight against SARS-CoV 2, the novel coronavirus that causes the disease COVID-19.
Please contact our support center at any time if you have questions or concerns. We want to help you feel more at ease during this time.
We will provide notification within 24 hours to our residents, the healthcare power of attorney, and our associates if anyone in our community tests positive for COVID-19. We will provide this communication by phone call and also send an e-mail. If you are the healthcare power of attorney, please make sure you speak with any other family members that you want to notify. We greatly appreciate your help with this communication.
We thank you for your cooperation and for allowing us to welcome, to care, and to serve our residents.

Testimonials
I am extremely happy with my decision to move here. I have been impressed with the quality of care & concern shown by the staff, who are very approachable & concerned with everyone’s well-being. I made a wise & happy decision to make Chestnut Ridge my new home.
The atmosphere was pleasant & inviting. Activities for the residents were always going on whenever I visited. The staff was always available to answer any of her questions or concerns. I would recommend this place to my family & friends.
Where do I start? I have no idea how we came to Chestnut Ridge for a tour and signed on the dotted line that same day. I have never met a group of people that are so giving of themselves without being asked. It amazes me how staff have taken my parents under their wings when they have only been there a few weeks. We love Chestnut Ridge.

We went for a tour and had a wonderful luncheon. Everyone was very friendly, and the place was very clean. Melissa went above and beyond from the very beginning; she answers all of your questions. Even after working all day she responded to our various other questions about the transition for my mother in law to make this move in easier. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a place for their loved one to give a shout out to Melissa as she will give you all the information and guidance. Everyone is so pleasant and kind when we come to visit.

My husband lived at the community and he felt safe & comfortable there. I was satisfied with the accommodations and value we received. He was satisfied with the dining and he was given enough food. The staff did their best with activities and he tried some of the exercises. Everything in the apartment got cleaned and the laundry service was good. The healthcare staff was knowledgeable, accessible, responsive and he was happy with them. Overall, I’d recommend it to other people and I know they were renovating the place.

My mom is a new resident at Chestnut Ridge. They have been a lifesaver for me. The staff is wonderful, the mood is cheerful, the accommodations are modern and spacious.
Terri S.
My father was a resident of Chestnut Ridge for almost a year, and loved living there. His room was spacious and he was very comfortable. The socialization and activities he was able to be part of were a game-changer for his emotional, physical, and mental health. All the aides and staff at Chestnut Ridge took very good care of him and our family is grateful to them for the love and care they gave him. Thank you!
