NEW ESTATE SALE POLICY: A new policy for estate sales has been put forth by the Administration and is having a trial run by the OO Shop. The goal is to turn units over faster so that Marketing can show and sell these vacated units. The policy mostly affects OO Shop volunteers, but residents who buy large items like furniture from these sales must pick up these items no later than the day following the sale. This means you must inform those taking work orders that there is a deadline for pickup of your purchase. OO Shop personnel have been informed that there is no guarantee that the items will be in the unit longer than the day after the sale. This policy begins with the sale in unit 2001 announced in this issue of the Courier. UPDATE IN THE HEALTH CENTER! New beds and mattresses will be delivered to the Chesapeake neighborhood on Tuesday, January 22 between 9AM and 7PM.

Smoke Free Collington Starts February 15, 2019!

January 18, 2019

Collington Community,

I’m reaching out to announce Collington will become a Smoke-Free Campus starting February 15, 2019.

I’ll provide more detail on this later in this communication but first I’ll give a bit more context on this

new policy.

As you are most likely aware, creating a smoke free environment has become more and more

commonplace on the campuses of hospitals, doctor’s offices, universities and senior living. Collington,

as a provider of services to older adults and an employer striving to provide a healthier workplace, will

now join the ranks of organizations and communities that have made the commitment to provide a

smoke free living and working environment. We also join the dozen other Kendal communities that

have smoke free campuses.

Collington’s Smoke Free Policy

It is the goal of Collington – A Kendal Affiliate to provide a healthy living and working environment for all

community members (resident, staff and board) and visitors. In support of this goal, smoking of any

kind is prohibited on Collington campus.

Definition

Smoke Free refers to prohibiting the use of all cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, pipes and any e-products like

e-cigarettes on Collington campus (grounds, trails, walkways, etc), inside all buildings and residential

units.

Residents in the Cottage & Apartment Communities

Residents of Collington living independently in the cottages (including villas) and apartments are

prohibited from smoking on campus or in their homes. As a means to accommodate residents that

moved in previous to the implementation of this policy, current residents that are current smokers will

be “grandparented” in and will be allowed to smoke inside their homes only. Should this resident’s

smoking impact his/her fellow neighbors, an air purification system will be installed in the unit to

neutralize the smell of smoke. Note: There maybe a charge to a resident for the installation of an air

purification system.

Residents in the Health Center

Residents of Collington living in assisted living, memory support, skilled nursing or rehabilitation are

cessation information and support. All staff have access to smoking cessation support through

CareBridge, which is Collington’s Employee Assistance Program. Additionally, any staff that participates

this please contact Human Resources.

Policy Enforcement

Strict compliance with this new policy is necessary in order to successfully provide a smoke free living

and working environment for community members. As such, enforcement of the policy will be a

necessity and will be ongoing. Our Security Staff will be one component of this compliance. Residents

and visitors seen or reported to be smoking and in violation of the policy will be asked to cease. Staff

that are seen or reported to be smoking and in violation of the policy will be asked to cease and also

subject to the disciplinary process.

Thanks to all that have been patient and supportive of this significant milestone for Collington.

Sincerely,

Marvell Adams Executive Director

And Many Thanks -

Winter arrived with many flurries last Saturday and Sunday (6 inches?). It was matched by a flurry of activities from Collington’s staff, Ruppert and RDI. They continually kept our roads and walkways free of snow and ice throughout the day and night.

Gratitude is extended to them and our Culinary Staff as well. Not only did they call for our orders and prepare our meals, they also delivered to the cottages and villas. Meals were also set up in the Ivy Room and packed for apartment dwellers. Our sincere thanks to all!

Finally, an omission must be corrected. In last week’s article about our Out-reach Committee, a member was inadvertently omitted. So a big shout out of thanks must also go to Joyce Fish. Please advise if anyone else was omitted. You are all an amazing group of people.

Finally -

Don’t forget the special community meeting on February 1, at 1:30 in the Au-ditorium. Diversified Search will update the community on the search for a new Executive Director.
