As the COVID-19 vaccine becomes available to a broader range of the population, seniors and their families need to understand what that means, what to expect after their vaccination, and how the guidance will affect Senior Living and Memory Care communities.

At Calson, we take the responsibility of caring for our senior population very seriously. Throughout the pandemic, Calson has prioritized our residents' safety and well-being. We are happy to now extend the COVID-19 vaccination to our residents.

COVID-19 may limit how we can connect with family and friends in person during the holidays, but that doesn't mean we can't find ways to be together. By adapting holiday activities and finding new ways to celebrate the season with your loved ones, you can minimize stress and create a pleasant experience for everyone.

The year 2020 has been full of unwanted surprises. As this year comes to an end and we are closer to an approved vaccine, we are happy to say we are registered to be amongst the first to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Having dementia does not increase the risk for COVID-19 but some older adults could have a higher probability of contracting COVID-19 because of increased age, dementia-related complications, and common health conditions.

Driven by our love and dedication, what it really comes down to is creativity and keeping a positive outlook. By thinking outside the box and making decisions with empathy and understanding, we can recreate the sense of normalcy that help our residents to thrive.
