Dear Hearthstone Residents, Family Members, Employees, Trusted Partners and Stakeholders,
In the interest of complete transparency, we created this Covid Update page to share any necessary information and updates about how we are continuing to keep our community safe.
Caring for the health and safety our residents continues to be our top priority. Along those lines, and given the recent lifting of State mandates, visitors to The Hearthstone will still be asked to adhere to protocols and clear a screening process–including a brief questionnaire and temperature check–before entering The Community.
Thank you for your continued support as we focus on the health, peace of mind and quality of life of our residents and employees.
Sincerely,
The Hearthstone Management Team
