appears to be leveling off. “Even though Bergen and Essex Counties are the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in New Jersey, the fund may have weathered the worst of it, at least for now,” said Joe Benincasa, president and CEO of the Actors Fund, on Friday.
With more than 100 residents, the retirement home in Englewood, NJ, currently has eight residents who have tested positive for the virus, 18 who have tested negative, and one resident whose test results are pending. “The good news continues,” he said, “in the Assisted Living & Memory Care sections of the facility, as they remain free from COVID-19. There is no doubt that the mitigation efforts, including isolation and keeping residents in their rooms, have been effective.”“In terms of staffing, things also continue to improve as more members of the team continue to return to work who have been out due to COVID-19,” he said.
