Dear Cedarbrook Residents, Families and Team Members:
Below is our weekly CSL Alert. These alerts will continue to be published on Thursdays.
If you have more questions after reading this summary, please reach out to a Cedarbrook team member on the appropriate information hotline (phone numbers are below) and we will answer your questions as quickly as possible.

Here are a few links to news stories that caught our attention this week:
Health care workers and long-term care residents should get COVID-19 vaccines first:

_________________________________
Vaccine Update:
We have been in regular contact with our state and national associations and continue to find that the news on the vaccine front is very fluid and changes daily. As of today, here is where we think we stand:
- The Pfizer vaccine should receive US approval on December 11, 2020 and the Moderna vaccine should be approved on December 17, 2020.
- After the Feds approve the vaccine, the State of Michigan has two weeks to issue its distribution plan. One of our national trade organizations, The American Senior Housing Association (ASHA), sent a letter to the nation’s governors encouraging them to prioritize senior housing in the distribution of the vaccine. You can read that letter here (for those of you reading this Alert in PDF format, you will need to copy and paste this link in your browser):
https://www.seniorshousing.org/wpcontent/uploads/2020/12/ASHANGADec2Final.pdf
- It looks like the initial vaccines will be distributed toward the end of December 2020.
- Most likely, Michigan will follow the CDC recommendations for prioritization which you can read about here (for those of you reading this Alert in PDF format, you will need to copy and paste this link in your browser): PowerPoint Presentation (cdc.gov)
- There are many unknowns at the state level, the most significant of which is not knowing how many vaccines the state will receive.
- Yesterday we learned that Pfizer has reduced the number of initial doses from 6.5M to +/- 5.8M. Remember, this is the first dose only. A second dose is needed 21 days later.
- We don’t know how many doses of the Moderna vaccine will be available initially.
- Nationwide there are approximately 21 million healthcare workers and 3 million residents in nursing homes and assisted living communities.
We will keep you up to date as we learn more about the vaccines. But, as of today and based on the limited number of vaccines that will be available initially, it is likely that we will not receive vaccines until sometime in the first quarter of 2021.

Revised CDC Isolation Guidelines:
Several families have asked if we plan to modify our quarantine policy based on the CDC’s recently revised isolation guidance. Just prior to publishing today’s CSL Alert, we received the following communication from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS):
“On Wednesday, December 2, 2020, the CDC presented scientific findings describing options to reduce the required number of quarantine days for individuals with known exposure to a confirmed COVID-19 case (available here).
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has been evaluating this information in the context of its guidance for contact tracing and recommendations for Michigan residents.
The existing fourteen-day recommendation was based on earlier data that estimated the COVID-19 incubation period. At the national level, estimates of the COVID-19 incubation period have been refined based on a review of case data for hundreds of thousands of cases.
Data from that assessment indicate that 99% of all infections will present within ten days of exposure. While a fourteen-day quarantine period is still standard, under certain conditions the CDC has presented an option for reducing the quarantine period for exposed individuals to ten days after exposure.
Based on the evaluation of the CDC information, MDHHS is updating guidance to specify that the post COVID-19 exposure quarantine period for Michigan residents can be modified in specific situations.
While the standard fourteen-day quarantine period remains, individuals have an opportunity to reduce that to ten days provided:
The individual does not develop any symptoms or clinical evidence of COVID-19 infection during daily symptom monitoring for the 10 days after the last exposure: and,
daily symptom monitoring continues through day 14 after the last exposure.
Note: Based on individual assessment, public health may continue to require individuals to quarantine for the full 14 days per existing CDC recommendations. The fourteen day option most greatly mitigates the possibility of post-quarantine transmission and continues to be the strategy with the most evidence for reducing risk to others at present.
With consideration for existing (and potential) limitations on the availability of testing resources, testing modality, and concerns of increased turnaround time for lab results, MDHHS is currently reviewing options for further reduction of quarantine periods based on diagnostic testing results. MDHHS guidance may be updated at a later date based on that review.”
Based on this directive, Cedarbrook will follow MDHHS’s guidelines underlined and italicized above and will adjust as more information becomes available from MDHHS.

COVID-19 Reporting Requirements:
Cedarbrook is required to notify all team members and residents of any positive COVID-19 cases that occur within our communities. As a result, if either a team member or resident tests positive for COVID-19 in one of our communities, we will issue a special COVID-19 notification for the impacted community. This will be in addition to our regular Thursday CSL Alerts.
_________________________________
Indoor and Outdoor Visitation:
As we outlined in the last couple of CSL Alerts, on October 28, 2020, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services issued Emergency Orders which govern our ability to offer both indoor and outdoor visitation. Rather than re-publish these lengthy guidelines, going forward, we will simply give you the dates we expect visitation to begin.
Indoor Visitation:
Per MDHHS requirements, with the Oakland and Wayne County COVID-19 risk levels currently at Level E, no indoor visitation is allowed in any of our communities.
Outdoor Visitation:
Here are the dates that we expect outdoor visitation to resume, assuming we do not receive any more COVID-19 positive test results before these dates:
Northville – IL, AL and MC: December 16, 2020
Bloomfield Hills – IL, AL and MC: December 12, 2020
Rochester – IL, AL, and MC: December 12, 2020
_________________________________
Cedarbrook COVID-19 Testing:
We have transitioned to weekly COVID-19 testing for all Cedarbrook residents and team members.
As a reminder for residents who left the building for Thanksgiving, we are asking you to self-isolate until we receive a negative COVID-19 test result for you. Due to these special holiday circumstances, we will print and deliver test results from the week of November 30, 2020 to your apartment once we receive them so that you know when your self-isolation period can end.
_________________________________
Cedarbrook - Active COVID-19 Cases in the Communities:
As a reminder, if a Cedarbrook team member tests positive for COVID-19, that team member will leave the community immediately and will not return until testing negative - or 14 days from the original test date. These return to work requirements exceed CDC recommendations for the protection of our residents and staff.

Dear Cedarbrook Residents, Families and Team Members:
Below is a shortened version of our weekly CSL Alert. We are publishing this week’s Alert today due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
If you have more questions after reading this summary, please reach out to a Cedarbrook team member on the appropriate information hotline (phone numbers are below) and we will answer your questions as quickly as possible.
_________________________________
Happy Thanksgiving!!
We want to take this opportunity to express how thankful we are for each and every member of the Cedarbrook family!!! Whether you are a resident who we have the honor of serving – or one of our hard working and dedicated team members – or a family member who has entrusted us with the care of your loved one – we want to say thank you!! We are so grateful for all of you and we continue to count our many blessings, despite these unusual times. And each of you is among those blessings. We wish you and your families a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!!
As a reminder, our amazing chefs at each community are preparing their own special Thanksgiving Day menu. We hope that this will inspire many of our residents to stay and enjoy Thanksgiving with their Cedarbrook family!
Thanksgiving Reminders:
We realize that there are no easy answers when it comes to how to handle the holidays this year, and each person must decide what is right for themselves and their families. From Cedarbrook’s perspective, our goal is to protect all of our communities, so we are asking the following of you:
1. Read and follow the CDC guidelines on Thanksgiving celebrations:
2. The MDHHS has also published guidelines for social gatherings and social pods (for those of you reading this Alert in PDF format, you will need to copy and paste these links in your browser):
https://www.michigan.gov/documents/coronavirus/11-15_Social_Gathering_707805_7.pdf
https://www.michigan.gov/documents/coronavirus/11-15_Safe_Social_Pods_v3_707801_7.pdf
3. For residents who leave the building for Thanksgiving, we ask that you self-isolate until we receive a negative COVID-19 test result for you. Due to these special holiday circumstances, we will print and deliver test results from the week of November 30, 2020 to your apartment once we receive them so that you know when your self-isolation period can end.
Indoor and Outdoor Visitation:
As we outlined in the last couple of CSL Alerts, On October 28, 2020, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services issued Emergency Orders which govern our ability to offer both indoor and outdoor visitation.

Indoor Visitation:
Per MDHHS requirements, with the Oakland and Wayne County COVID-19 risk levels currently at Level E, no indoor visitation is allowed in any of our communities.

Here are the dates that we expect current outdoor visitation to resume, assuming we do not receive any more COVID-19 positive test results before these dates:
Bloomfield Hills – IL, AL, and MC: December 6, 2020
Northville – IL, AL and MC: December 6, 2020

Dear Cedarbrook Residents, Families and Team Members:
Below is our weekly CSL Alert. These alerts will continue to be published on Thursdays.
If you have more questions after reading this summary, please reach out to a Cedarbrook team member on the appropriate information hotline (phone numbers are below) and we will answer your questions as quickly as possible.
_________________________________
As we navigate the current COVID-19 outbreak, when we are faced with difficult decisions, we have one guiding principle:
“Cedarbrook will do everything within its power to protect our residents, families and team members”.
While protecting all of you is our objective, we cannot do it alone and success is not guaranteed. We need your help. With Thanksgiving next week, the temptation to let your guard down will be strong. Just as we witnessed after Labor Day and Halloween, we expect a significant increase in COVID-19 cases during the week of November 30.
While we are taking all reasonable precautions to control the spread of the virus within our communities, obviously we cannot control what happens outside our walls. As you make your holiday plans, PLEASE remember that what you do on Thanksgiving could have long lasting effects on both your health and the health of the entire Cedarbrook community. Be careful out there.
Our chefs at each community are preparing their own special Thanksgiving Day menu. We hope that this will inspire many of our residents to stay and enjoy Thanksgiving with their Cedarbrook family!

Below is a summary of notable events over the last week.
COVID-19 in the News:
Here are a few links to news stories that caught our attention this week:
'3-week pause' implementing new statewide COVID-19 restrictions now in effect:
Michigan hits No. 5 in nation for COVID-19 deaths, No. 6 for cases, ICU patients
Oxford trial chief says its CCOVID vaccine could still be ready at a similar time to others:
Vaccination Priority:
We continue to be in contact with the Oakland and Wayne County Health Departments as well as the CDC and they are aware of how many vaccines we require to vaccinate all of our residents and team members. We expect to be a top priority in the allocation and distribution of the initial vaccines.
PPE:
We have a very good supply of PPE on hand and we continue to add to our stock. These items get distributed to the communities as needed in our ongoing effort to keep our residents and team members as safe as possible.
State of Michigan - COVID-19 Contact Tracing App:
This week, the State of Michigan released its COVID-19 tracing app. We encourage everyone to download and activate this app to help slow the spread of the virus:
https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus/0,9753,7-406-99891_102592---,00.html

https://wayne.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/d04fff4645b140319fad972eb3740550
COVID-19 Reporting Requirements:
Cedarbrook is required to notify all team members and residents of any positive
COVID-19 cases that occur within our communities. As a result, if either a team member or resident tests positive for COVID-19 in one of our communities, we will issue a special COVID-19 notification for the impacted community. This will be in addition to our regular Thursday CSL Alerts.
Indoor and Outdoor Visitation:
As we outlined in the last couple of CSL Alerts, On October 28, 2020, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services issued Emergency Orders which govern our ability to offer both indoor and outdoor visitation. Rather than re-publish these lengthy guidelines, going forward, we will simply give you the dates we expect visitation to begin.
Indoor Visitation:
Per MDHHS requirements, with the Oakland and Wayne County COVID-19 risk levels currently at Level E, no indoor visitation is allowed in any of our communities.
Outdoor Visitation:
Here are the dates that we expect current outdoor visitation to resume, assuming we do not receive any more COVID-19 positive test results before these dates:
Bloomfield Hills – IL, AL, and MC: November 28, 2020
Northville – IL, AL and MC: December 2, 2020
Rochester – IL, AL, and MC: December 1, 2020
For brevity, we will not publish our sign-up instructions in today’s CSL Alert. We will republish these instructions as we get closer to re-opening outdoor visitation.
Igloo Status:
Our Bloomfield Hills igloo is near completion and our Rochester igloos are being built currently. Our Northville igloo components are in transit to the community. Our crew is working hard to get the igloos completed and ready for visitation.
Cedarbrook COVID-19 Testing:
This week we are transitioning to weekly COVID-19 testing for all Cedarbrook residents and team members.
IMPORTANT: Third Party Provider and Private Caregiver COVID-19 Testing:
Yesterday, Wednesday November 18, 2020, based on MDHHS orders, we began requiring any third-party service providers or private caregivers to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within the 7 days prior to the day they plan to enter the community.
If you have a private caregiver, please notify them of this requirement as soon as possible. If they do not comply, they will be denied access to our communities.
Thanksgiving Planning:
We recognize that all of you are currently trying to decide what, if any, family gatherings you will attend this year. At the same time, the management team at Cedarbrook is very concerned about the potential spread of COVID-19 in our communities shortly after Thanksgiving.
We realize that there are no easy answers, and each person must decide what is right for themselves and their families. From Cedarbrook’s perspective, our goal is to protect all of our communities, so we are asking the following of you:
1. Read and follow the CDC guidelines on Thanksgiving celebrations:
2. The MDHHS has also published guidelines for social gatherings and social pods (for those of you reading this Alert in PDF format, you will need to copy and paste these links in your browser):
https://www.michigan.gov/documents/coronavirus/11-15_Social_Gathering_707805_7.pdf
https://www.michigan.gov/documents/coronavirus/11-15_Safe_Social_Pods_v3_707801_7.pdf
3. IMPORTANT: Last week, we told you that we would hold a “Post -Thanksgiving Test Day” on Monday, November 30, 2020. Part of our decision making was based upon the availability of PCR testing and testing personnel. However, after additional discussions with our testing laboratory this week, we have decided not to hold this test day and instead, are now able to continue with our normal weekly testing of all of our residents and team members. Using this schedule, we feel we can get an adequate Post-Thanksgiving baseline assessment of each community.
4. For residents who leave the building for Thanksgiving, we ask that you self-isolate until we receive a negative COVID-19 test result for you. Due to these special holiday circumstances, we will print and deliver test results from the week of November 30, 2020 to your apartment once we receive them so that you know when your self-isolation period can end.

Dear Cedarbrook Residents, Families and Team Members:
Below is a COVID-19 notification:
_________________________________
Michigan continues to experience increasing COVID-19 positive cases. Yesterday, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services ("MDHHS") issued new, more restrictive orders for various types of gatherings and business types. To comply with the current MDHHS orders due to rising COVID-19 cases, Cedarbrook is reducing or ceasing certain socially distanced activities in the short-term, including dining.
