At Pacifica Senior Living communities, we’re here to support our residents as they pursue their new goals going into the new year. Whether you’re trying to get more active, eat better, or learn a new skill, we’re here to help make it a reality!
NEW YEAR. NEW EXPECTATIONS.
The New Year always brings with it many resolutions.
And, resolutions mean decisions. Resolutions mean action.
In the past, success has come frequently to Pacifica – with tactful resolutions, then decisions and action. But, we all know that this success does not come easily. It comes because of hard work and thoughtful endeavors.
As we come to the close of another year, it seems fitting to reflect upon progress made, milestones reached, and lives impacted. As we do so, it is impossible to survey our last several months without being filled with thankfulness and gratitude.
Thankfulness and gratitude are often interchangeable; both indicate a deep appreciation for circumstances, events, and people as we move through everyday life.
On December 29th, we are taking a moment to appreciate the incredible residents, staff, and families who make our Pacifica Senior Living communities thrive. We thank you, as part of Pacifica Family Appreciation Day, for everything you do that makes our residences a wonderful place to call home.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year… and we wish you and your family a warm and merry Christmas from our team at Pacifica Senior Living!
Whether you’re watching the snowfall gently outside your window, or you’re enjoying a tropical Christmas under the California palm trees, the holidays are a magical time of year. A time for family and friends to rejoice in their love for one another, creating memories through our favorite holiday and Christmas traditions.
A MEANINGFUL COVID PROTOCOL
During this time of uncertainty of Covid-19 – with the multiple variants and changing state responses – the Pacifica Senior Living heightened protocols are presently in place. Our top priority remains the health and safety of our residents and staff.
Vaccinations have been a hot topic since the COVID-19 vaccine became available in December 2020. Now, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) are suggesting most Americans will benefit from a standard dose of the Moderna or Pfizer-manufacturer version of the vaccine, as opposed to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
The Johnson & Johnson vaccine became an attractive alternative to the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines when the public learned it required only one dose, instead of two like the other manufacturers. However, studies show that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is linked to rare -- but serious -- blood clot disorders, which are not a known side effect of Modern or Pfizer vaccines.
Additionally, the CDC claims Americans should consider the efficacy of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines when choosing their dose. Moderna and Pfizer show marked improvements over the Johnson & Johnson vaccine when it comes to protecting vaccinated individuals from serious illness or death.
Prior to this announcement, the CDC treated all vaccines with an ‘equal choice’ approach, however, their current claims strongly encourage Americans to choose Moderna and Pfizer over Johnson & Johnson when receiving their first vaccine or a booster shot.
According to CDC Advisor Dr. Beth Bell, she “would not recommend the Janssen vaccine to my family members, but some patients may -- and should be able to -- choose that shot.” The Johnson & Johnson vaccine will remain available for individuals who are allergic to Moderna or Pfizer, but the CDC does not recommend it as the first choice for individuals who can receive the safer, more effective Moderna or Pfizer doses.
We invite our residents to ask their caregivers or doctors if they have any questions about the COVID-19 vaccine, or scheduling a booster appointment. We are happy to help our residents get vaccinated and arrange future doses, promoting good health throughout our community.
