IF the nursing home is mass vaccinated, then I could understand them doing shops. In Virginia, most I've read about just recently got their first shots of the Pfizer vaccine, so I would never consider doing them until I knew that particular location was fully vaccinated (meaning both shots).@buddycocker wrote:
I see that ACL has approximately 15 Assisted Living shops in and around Seattle. My 95 YO mother has been in lockdown for 10 months in a Seattle area Assisted Living home and for the last two in complete quarantine in her room. Conducting shops during this time seems morally irresponsible and don't know how it's permitted. The instructions read if a LIVE Tour is offered, you are to accept it. Anyone seeing these in other states? Any thoughts? Thanks

Remember, not all staff members at these assisted living homes are taking the vaccine, some are refusing it.
Interesting.@walesmaven wrote:
Please remember that many assisted living residents are not legally capable of giving permission to accept the vaccine and may be at such high risk that their legal representatives hesitate or decline to give permission. Therefore, it may be quite rare to find "universal" vaccination in assisted living settings.
I could see it being too burdensome to do that, but ACL could have also stipulated to the client that during this "sensitive time" of the pandemic, the company believes it is in the best interest of public health to not have shops done in nursing homes that have not yet gone through a vaccination process. That would place the burden on the homes, which would be easier to track from the client side.@sandyf wrote:
The mystery shop companies can not track every county in the country and what their current pandemic rules are, esp since sometimes they change rapidly. So they throw the jobs out there and expect those that can and are willing will take them.

If the location is allowing prospective customers to tour, why is it the MS company's fault?@buddycocker wrote:
I have like ACL for the most part, but I may rethink working for them in the future. Thanks for your input
