HGV In The News: COVID-19 Vaccines

"It's like a Christmas present in your email box!" exclaimed Kyleen Dye, the special unit nurse manager at Haciendas at Grace Village.
On November 13th, she started a "Covid Unit" on the campus to provide specialized care for virus patients that do not need ventilators.
"We actually came into existence to be able to alleviate hospital congestion," Dye explained. "They're not quite sick enough to be in the hospital, but there's not quite anywhere for them to go."
In addition to the Covid patients, the campus has long-term residents that have not been able to touch or hug their relatives since March.
"They get sad not being able to see their loved ones," Dye said. "Hopefully this is a turning point where we can get to a point where we can have safe visitations."
