Project Lazarus Adopting Measures to Protect Residents Living with HIV

At Project Lazarus, the residence for those living with HIV, staff are commited to the health, safety, and well being of their community.

Out of an abundance of caution, they are adopting multiple preventative measures to protect our community of people living with HIV.

Following the lead of nursing homes and assisted living communities, visitation restrictions are in place effective immediately. For the time being, only staff and residents can access the campus. Staff is ensuring that all residents are receiving the mental health services they need to prevent anxiety or stress, and also providing companionship so no one feels isolated or lonely during this time of limited volunteers and guests.

Second, staff has adopted strict policies regarding hygiene and cleanliness in shared spaces and are regularly disinfecting highly-trafficked surfaces.

Third, there is now a designated area of the campus for anyone who may need to self-quarantine due to exposure.

Finally, PRoject Lazarus has purchased a large quantity of nonperishable food and medical and cleaning supplies to ensure continuity of care.

"We are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received during this uncertain time, and encourage everyone to practice social distancing and CDC-recommended hygiene and hand washing. You are not only protecting yourself, but those most at-risk in our community, including the elderly and people living with HIV."
