Covid-19 has been found to spread mainly from person to person via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends wearing face masks to help slow the spread of COVID-19 when combined with every day preventive actions and social distancing in public settings.

Here are some guidelines on how to properly wear and take off a mask.

WEAR YOUR MASK CORRECTLY

• Wash your hands before putting on your mask
• Put it over your nose and mouth and secure it under your chin
• Try to fit it snugly against the sides of your face
• Make sure you can breathe easily
• Do not place a mask on a child younger than 2

USE A MASK TO HELP PROTECT OTHERS

• Wear a mask to help protect others in case you’re infected but don’t have symptoms
• Keep the mask on your face the entire time you’re in public
• Don’t put the mask around your neck or up on your forehead
• Don’t touch the mask, and, if you do, clean your hands

FOLLOW EVERYDAY HEALTH HABITS

• Stay at least 6 feet away from others
• Avoid contact with people who are sick
• Wash your hands often, with soap and water, for at least
• 20 seconds each time
• Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available

TAKE OFF YOUR MASK CAREFULLY WHEN YOU’RE HOME

• Untie the strings behind your head or stretch the ear loops
• Handle only by the ear loops or ties
• Fold outside corners together
• Place mask in the washing machine
• Wash your hands with soap and water

Ms. Charlotte Page came to Boyd Nursing and Rehab Center with the diagnosis of L4 Compression fracture. This diagnosis made it impossible for her to walk without severe fear and pain.
With the help of both nursing and therapy Care Team Members, she has improved tremendously! Charlotte can now ambulate greater than 200ft with the use of a front wheel walker with standby assistance of staff and is transferring to the chair or wheelchair with only assistance of one. She is no longer afraid to participate in therapy and makes daily strides to regain her previous level of functioning. Charlotte is determined and dedicated to her recovery. We are so proud of her and celebrate her successes!

Robin Caldwell arrived at Boyd Nursing and Rehab after a short stay in the hospital due to possible cerebrovascular accident.
Robin has received support from nursing & therapy Care Team Members, & has since begun walking in the hallways! She can now ambulate with the use of a roller walker & assistance of one Care Team Member for supervision only!
Robin enjoys attending activities & fine dining in the main dining room. After returning home, Robin plans to spend time volunteering at Boyd Nursing and Rehab.
We are very proud of the success Robin has made & look forward to the day she is able to return to volunteer!
