UPDATED February 14th, 2023
Acacia Creek Retirement Community has put into place policies and procedures to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 on our campuses. We have followed, and will continue to do so, all county, state, and national guidance set forth for privacy, patient care, employee safety, and efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19.
This disease especially impacts people who live in communal settings. The health and well-being of our residents, staff, and community is of the utmost importance to us. Therefore, we wanted to make you aware of the policies we’ve put into place during this time across our campus, which we share with the Masonic Homes of California. Please note that these policies are continually reviewed and updated as changing circumstances warrant.
