Atria Senior Living announced a 98% COVID-19 vaccination rate among its almost 10,000 staff members on Thursday, crediting an employee mandate, on-site clinics and its Sleeve-Up initiative. The announcement comes as other operators establish requirements, expect to do so, or decide not to.
As long-term care staff member COVID-19 vaccination rates continue to lag nationally, an Ohio provider is joining a growing industry trend of mandating employee vaccination out of a sense of “moral and ethical duty” to its residents. The company, however, which offers both senior living and skilled nursing, becomes one of the first large nursing home operators to announce such a policy.
The draw for me to join the Sunrise family is very straightforward.
Dan Guill officially becomes CEO of Enlivant tomorrow. In this exclusive interview, he talks about his short-term and long-term goals, COVID-19 vaccination mandates, succession planning, the importance of company culture, and the role that outgoing CEO Jack Callison, who is becoming CEO of Sunrise Senior Living, will continue to play as chair of Enlivant’s board.
As leaders in other industries begin dipping their toes in the COVID-19 vaccination mandate waters, the list of senior living providers that have that requirement is growing.
Enlivant and Sunrise Senior Living will require employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 as a condition of employment.
