COVID-19 Updates and Resources

#SaferatSeniorStar

We at Senior Star have spent 45 years creating and striving for a company culture of caring and making a difference. We care deeply about Senior Star residents and the individuals who love those residents. We care deeply about our industry and exceptional team of associates, whose work is not only essential but is also vital to the health of our nation.

Through the global COVID-19 pandemic, we remain connected to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and local health authorities, and focused on the safety and wellbeing of everyone we serve and employ.

When the COVID pandemic hit, we all began to rally around the words “Safer at Senior Star.” These words speak to our commitment to the safety protocols we have in place and to our Difference Makers pledge that extends to living safely at work and home.

Help in combatting the COVID-19 pandemic is on the way. Residents and associates of our communities will be among the first in the Nation granted access to the vaccine. Yet, many more must follow before we can collectively turn the tide in 2021. We will reach that beautiful time together. Ours is a precious world. Let’s protect it and each other by getting vaccinated.

At Senior Star, we believe getting vaccinated is the right thing, we consider it part of our promise to do for each other with love. In that spirit, we share this video of our Co-Founders and CEO receiving their COVID vaccine.

Part of being #SaferAtSeniorStar means that we focus on the overall wellbeing of our residents and associates. We know how important it is for all people, especially for residents, to be safely engaged and connected during this pandemic.

View this video from one of our Kanas City communities to learn more about how technology helps us remain connected.

The heart of our Senior Star family is our dedicated associates who are … A World of Difference Makers. They bring respect, love and caring on a personal level to our residents every day. Our commitment to them is unwavering.

Our associates volunteer to sign our Difference Maker’s pledge to live safely at home and work.

Watch our video to hear more about staying safely connected from our Chief Operating Officer, Karen Doering.

Before welcoming a new resident or associate, we require a negative COVID test result and follow up testing as needed.

We conduct prevalence testing of residents and team members after there is a confirmed positive COVID-19 test result following our contact tracing protocols and we are meeting all CDC requirements and state and local guidelines for senior living communities in regard to testing protocols.

We will remain flexible and will continue to pivot and adapt our approach based on the evolution of the pandemic, local area positivity rates, and guidance from health authorities.

The fact that Coronavirus does not begin within our building—that it walks through the front door—makes it clear: When it comes to safety, we are all in this together. It is with this emphasis on safety that we share this video, filmed by our Co-Founders in May of 2020. Then and now, we are all in this together.
