Revera Launches Expert Advisory Panel Report

Over the summer and early fall, Revera engaged an external panel of professionals with national and international experience in areas of medicine, health policy, aging and geriatrics, and healthcare infrastructure, to examine the first wave of the pandemic and identify practical and actionable opportunities for improvement, both for Revera and for the entire sector. We would like to thank our Expert Advisory Panel for their hard work and insights and especially Dr. Bob Bell who volunteered his time as Chair of the Panel, and who retained editorial control of the report.

Message from our CEO, Tom Wellner: January 1

Dear Residents, Families and Employees

Like many of you, New Year’s Eve was very different this year. As I quietly rang in the New Year with my wife at home, midnight brought both relief that this heartbreaking year is finally over, and cautious hope that 2021 will be a very different experience for everyone.

I’m not sure that a year has ever felt longer than 2020 has. It’s no wonder many of us feel more reflective than celebratory. Eager to finally turn the page, but, thanks to the unforeseen challenges that this year brought, maybe a bit hesitant to feel our usual optimism at the dawning of a new one.

Revera's Pandemic Response Plan

This past September, Revera shared its Revera’s Pandemic Response Plan, which is focused on five priority areas: external advisory committee, analytics, building and infrastructure, clinical and operational initiatives, and staffing.

Our response to COVID-19

Revera’s pandemic protocols, guided by public health directives and our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Rhonda Collins, include physical distancing, universal masking, visitor screening, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), deep cleaning and disinfecting, and more. When a resident or employee has a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19, we act immediately to reduce the spread of the virus. Read our FAQ for more details.
