This agency project involves installing protective gear stations in residents' rooms at Pembroke Center to provide easy access to gloves, masks, and eye wear for staff and residents. The installation will be completed by April 10th and involves nursing staff, therapeutic staff, social workers, administrators, maintenance staff, and janitorial staff. The protective gear is currently stored in a supplies closet and needs to be more accessible as residents frequently leave the facility. The goals are to protect both staff and residents and advance their human and civil rights during the COVID-19 pandemic.
