Due to the continued threat of the COVID-19 Global Pandemic, Mountain Valley Manor will be offering flu shots for all residents and staff here at the facility. In previous years we have allowed residents to use their own physicians and other clinics at their discretion for their annual flu shot. We have discussed the risks associated with residents leaving the facility and being exposed to the general public for a flu shot. All physicians are in agreement that this would be a counter productive idea and having a flu clinic in the facility is a safer option.
On October 8th the pharmacist from Woodstock Apothecary will be present at the facility to give all residents their flu vaccinations. Woodstock Apothecary will be responsible for obtaining any doctor’s orders and billing insurance companies for each resident. Residents will be responsible for any copays and will be billed accordingly. Copies of the vaccination record will be sent to the resident’s primary physician for their office records and a copy is maintained here at Mountain Valley Manor.
All residents are encouraged to receive their shot at this time. With the continued concerns regarding COVID-19 it is reasonable for all residents to protect themselves from further illness.
If you have any questions regarding flu shots, please feel free to reach out to Jennifer during Monday through Friday from 8am to 2pm. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Resident Visits Update!

Mountain Valley Manor Adult Care Home (MVM) would like to thank you for all of your efforts in helping keep both our staff and residents healthy and safe during this pandemic. Since we locked down in March for the COVID pandemic, our residents have remained 100% COVID-19 free and we continue to work diligently to maintain their safety in our home.
Our team at MVM has worked hard to create a safe in-person, open & outdoor visiting area using recommended safety protocols, masks, and social distancing. We understand the need and desire to visit with your family members in person at MVM. We hope by utilizing this new outdoor family visiting space you will be able to enjoy your loved ones without compromising their safety.
If you would like to sign up for in-person visits in our new garden space, you will need to make an appointment. Attached is the link for our online appointment maker. We are attempting to streamline the visitation process. To sign up for in-person visits it requires information to be input per New York State Department of Health requirements. This website will assist in gathering that information for us. https://mountain-valley-manor.appointlet.com
By using this website, we can ensure that you have the opportunity to schedule visits that work within our safety parameters and within your schedules. Please understand that we are striving for equality and would like to limit the number of visits each resident receives in a week so that each resident can enjoy a visit!
In addition to the basic information collected at the time an appointment is scheduled, we are required to perform a temperature check for each visitor as well as a health survey. This survey will be sent to you one hour prior to the scheduled visit time. Without this information completed we will not be able to allow a scheduled visit to commence. Currently, this survey will be sent via the email address you use to book the appointment. We are working on a text solution. If you have any questions about this process please contact Jenn or Rebecca at 845-331-1254 or healthcare@mountainvalleymanor.com
*** Please note these new hours and dates start Monday 9/21/2020***
