To Our Residents and Family Members: We want to provide you with an update on the situation at Shaire Center regarding the novel coronavirus or COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2), including the number confirmed cases as well as efforts we are undertaking. The safety and wellbeing of our residents is our top priority. We are doing what we can to limit the spread of COVID-19 within Shaire Center.
As of 03/13/2023 we have 0 RESIDENTS, AND 0 STAFF confirmed case(s) of COVID-19 in our Skilled Nursing/Rehabilitation Unit ( In following regulations this considers this unit to be in an outbreak status). We have 3 RESIDENTS AND 0 STAFF confirmed case(s) of COVID-19 in our Assisted Living/Memory Care Unit.
When a resident tests positive, we notify residents and their representative(s) of their condition and implement protocols for their care and treatment. We also follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Assisted Living/Memory Care Unit follows DHSR Guidelines and Skilled Nursing/Rehabilitation Unit follows the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), including return to work guidance, for staff who test positive.
Shaire Center is staying in very close communication with local and state health officials to ensure we are taking all the appropriate steps under current circumstances. We are also following guidance from the CDC and CMS to reduce the spread and impact of COVID-19, such as:
• Staff and resident vaccinations and boosters
• Enhanced infection control precautions
• Screening residents, staff, and visitors for symptoms
• Testing staff and residents for COVID-19 based on current protocols and availability of tests
• Social distancing and other infection control precautions
• Installed HEPA grade filters in facility HVAC system.
• Installed multiple commercial grade air scrubbers in all hallways
• Installed multiple individual air purifiers equipped with an H13 HEPA grade filtration system effective against Covid-19 in patient rooms.
Due to government privacy requirements, we cannot divulge specific information about the individuals who have confirmed or suspected COVID-19, unless they are your family member, and you have the necessary permissions to receive such information.
We know you are concerned about your loved one, and we will contact you directly if your loved one is suspected or diagnosed with COVID-19.
We also understand that connecting with family members is incredibly important to our residents and we are following guidelines to allow visitation to occur for all residents. We do continue to encourage family members to remain up to date with all recommended COVID-19 vaccine doses, follow recommendations for source control and physical distancing, and consider limiting visitations when your loved one is COVID -19 positive. We also will request that all visitors follow CDC quarantine guidelines if they have a positive viral test for COVID-19, symptoms of COVID-19, or close contact with someone with COVID-19 infection. If you choose not to visit or are unable, family members can continue to connect with their loved ones through video chat, calling, texting, or on social media.
We need your help in battling COVID-19. Please visit the CDC website (www.cdc.gov/coronavirus) to learn how you can help prevent the spread in our community, since continued spread in the larger community increases the chance the virus will work its way into our building.
This is a difficult time for everyone. We will continue to provide you with updates. Please know that we are adhering to guidelines from the local and state health departments.
We know that you may have questions and we encourage you to contact our center. Please call us at 828-728-6500, or frequent our website here for updates on the status of your loved one.
*Masks continue to be mandatory when in our facilities* In certain situations additional Personal Protective Equipment may be required.
In-facility visits are available to all patients. the following letter below released by administration outlines our visitation policy at this time. Please share this information with other family/friends. shaire center has installed a new electronic device to expedite with check-in. it is not necessary to ring the doorbell at this time. simply enter the building and complete the check in process on our tablet. a name tag will be printed by the device that is to be worn at all times during your visit. Masks continue to be required. if the patient you are visiting has a roommate, visitors are not permitted to enter if the roommate is present at the time of the visit. living rooms are available as an alternate location for your visit. outdoor visits, weather permitting, remain the preferred setting.
Residents, families and responsible parties:
At Shaire, we recognize that physical separation from family and other loved ones has taken a physical and emotional toll on residents and their loved ones. We understand that residents derive value from the physical, emotional, and spiritual support they receive through visitation from family and friends. We appreciate the efforts of families, residents, staff and our providers responding to the COVID-19 crisis. Ensuring the health and safety of residents has been challenging and required tremendous work. In light of this, Shaire is updating its visitation guidance accordingly, but emphasizing the importance of maintaining infection prevention practices, given the continued risk of COVID-19 transmission. Visitation can be conducted through different means based on a facility’s structure and residents’ needs. The continued use of technology to keep families connected as much as possible will continue. However, to balance the needs of families and residents to see each other in person with the need to protect residents from COVID-19, this letter outlines the criteria set by The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for allowing visitations.
Visits are encouraged to be conducted between the hours of 9am and 8pm. During this time as well as any other times scheduling in advance is not required. Visits may still be dependent on suitable space at the facility to meet resident care needs and proper social distancing. Should visiting during these hours pose an undue hardship for various reasons, we ask that the family call the facility to let our receptionist know what time they would like to visit. This courtesy call will allow us the information needed to let staff know when to expect you. The reasoning behind this is to allow staff to perform their jobs as efficiently and effectively as possible without interruptions.
Shaire will continue to ensure appropriate personal care and supervision is provided for the safety of the resident by taking into consideration the needs of the resident and the situation. Shaire will require a pre-visit orientation, and screenings of visitors to include presence of symptoms and known exposure to COVID-19, and ensure visitors bring and wear a mask for face covering. This orientation and screening takes about 5-10 minutes prior to the start of your visit. Shaire must screen for fever and other symptoms associated with COVID-19 (fever equal to or greater than 100.0 F, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, muscle aches, chills or new onset of loss of taste or smell) prior to visitor being allowed to visit. Visitors must cooperate with the facility's screening process at each visit and attest to not having signs or symptoms or current diagnosis of COVID-19; if they have had COVID-19, they must provide documentation (e.g., doctor's note) that they no longer meet CDC criteria for transmission-based precautions. Any individuals with symptoms of COVID-19 infection (fever equal to or greater than 100.0 F, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, muscle aches, chills or new onset of loss of taste or smell) will not be permitted to visit with a resident. Please be patient while you wait for staff to assist you. Providing patient care is still our most important responsibility.
Any individual that develops within 2 days of visiting a resident a diagnosis of COVID-19 or signs and symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, muscles aches, chills, or new onset loss of smell or taste, must immediately notify the facility of the date they were visiting and the resident they were in contact with.
Visitors or visitations will not be limited unless suitable space at the facility to meet resident care needs and proper social distancing cannot be met. Visitors must bring and wear mask covering both the mouth and nose for the entire visit. Shaire will refuse entry to, and may cease visitation by visitors who do not comply with wearing a mask, following protocol for screening, or make every effort to maintain social distancing from other residents and staff. Shaire will provide alcohol-based hand rub to visitors and demonstrate how to use it appropriately if necessary. Visitors and residents must use alcohol-based hand rub before and after visitation.
A Shaire staff member will screen the visitors, and remind the visitors of the visitation protocols and infection prevention measures to be taken during the visit. Visits can take place in the resident’s room if the resident has a private room; in one of our living rooms if the resident has a semi-private room; or outdoors in one of our covered patios, porches or courtyards. Visitors must stay in the designated location (patient room, living room or outdoor area) and only visit the resident they intend to visit.
Visitors may remove their mask when they enter the room or area where the visitation will occur. Masks must be reapplied to exit the visit. Visitors should physically distance from other residents and staff in the facility. Shaire has the discretion to alter visitation practices based on disease transmission in the facility or community, or visitor non-compliance.
Please contact Shaire with any questions (828) 728-6500. Thank you for your patience, support and prayers during this time.

Kay's Heart Celebrating
*With all the crazy mess going on this time of the year - the shopping, the crowds, the gift wrapping - things are WILD! Everyone is looking for the perfect gift. We hurry and then we hurry some more. Sometimes I just want to say "Time Out"!! Let's take a BIG time out!!
*I've got to confess, it used to really bother me to see all the commercials of Christ's birth and all the things in the stores which have not one thing to do with Christmas. But one day it dawned on me, whether people realize it or not, they are celebrating.
*Celebrating with lights that represents the star that appeared in Bethlehem. The Christmas tree represents the cross. Even Santa's suit- the red represents Jesus's blood and the white represents our sins being washed white as snow.
*So when I began looking at decorations that way, I had to smile, because everyone is celebrating our Savior's birth whether they realize it or not.
*So this year, when you are walking through the mall or through Wal-Mart, smile and ask, "How beautiful all this is for Jesus?" A baby's birth! Jesus Christ changed everything. His birth and him changed the world and changed us!
*Merry Christmas from my heart to each of your hearts! I pray this will be the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER spent with the people you love.

What has God Done?
If God has done anything good for us ever in our lives we need to tell others about it. We should never keep it to ourselves. Maybe He protected us from an accident or maybe, He was just there for us to talk to when we were lonely. If He’s been good to us in anyway, then we need to sing His praises and tell others. Everyone should know, and needs to know just how great He is and just how much He loves then, Guess what, we all should be the person to tell it.
Have you ever seen a commercial for a new movie and thought maybe you would like to see it, but then a friend goes to see the movie and comes back to tell you all about it. That friend telling you about the movie is so much better than the movie advertisement. Well we are Gods advertisement if we tell other people about what God has done in our lives they will want to see for themselves just how good He really is. Can we do less than share with others what He has done?
Seven Ways to Love Your Mother John 19:26-27
Jesus on the cross, bearing the weight of the sins of the whole world on His shoulders yet He sees to it to make sure His mother is taken care of after He is gone. He is showing all of us today how important it is to take care and love mothers. If your mother is still alive regardless of your mother's age or your age you can lover her in these 7 ways
1-Love her Verbally: Men have the philosophy "I don't have to say I love You, you already know." That may be true but a woman, especially a mother needs to hear the words I Love you
2- Love her Physically: When is the last time you gave your mom a big hug or a kiss on the cheek? She's the first person who ever touched you. She changed your diapers, potty trained you, wiped food off your face. She deserves your hugs and kisses.
3-Love her patiently: Mothers have an incredible job with no pay. No position in the business world compares to physical emotional and spiritual commitment she has in motherhood.
4-Love her Attentively: Mothers listen with their hearts. She has a sympathetic eye and always will be on your side. And sometimes its your turn to listen and be her "Rock". It's pay back time.
5-Love her Generously: There's nothing too good for her. We could never repay her, but we ought to die trying before she does. Remember she didn't spend on herself unless your needs were met first.
6-Love her Gratefully:
She needs a sincere 'Thank You" and not just today but from a genuinely thankful heart when she least expects it.
7-Love her Honorably: Exodus 20:12 honor thy Father and Mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
There is a bonding as long as your mom lives. If the husband is the head of the home then the mother is the heart. Give yourself a great present and and tell your mother you love her!
The 2 C’S of Christmas
What is the 2 C’s of Christmas? Santa Claus and Jesus Christ!
With Santa he appears everywhere in the stores, malls and even in our churches. People will stop whatever they are doing just so they can take their children to sit on Santa’s lap to say” Hi and smile”. Children giggle and tell him their wishes, eyes filled with excitement. It’s a magical moment, being a Santa. I think it carries a great responsibility and I think in some ways it is a privilege to be a Santa. He brings a lot of joy to each child who thinks he is a hero with a white beard wearing a red suit. I was thinking the other day how important Santa is to kids this time of the year and how important kids are to Santa.
As I was praying the Holy Spirit spoke into my heart. “Each one of Gods children is important to him not only this time of year but each and every day. You are to be the light of the world. Your smile, your greeting, your listening ear, your caring heart and your presence is always very much needed by all the people around you. Everywhere you go you represent Jesus Christ, my son.” That’s what it means for you and I to be ambassadors for Christ to everyone we meet.
Unlike the man who wears the Santa suit for one month and takes it off each day we are wearing a Jesus suit 24 hours a day. If only we could live that way as if we are walking around in a Jesus Christ suit would you be compelled to take the time to give people the blessings from God that they need. A Savior has been born He is Christ the Lord. His love is for each and every one of us. The Bible says every knee shall bow (even Santa) Jesus came to change the world; Jesus came to change each of us. God’s greatest gift is his son; our savior, please precious gift.
Merry Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving,
This is the season of Harvest and Blessings, so it’s easy to allow the overflow of the beautiful goodness all around to just bubble up inside and come out in a thankful prayer. A lot of us claim to pray especially when we are up against the wall, but many of us don’t really understand the power of prayer to deliver us from temptation. Prayer makes a real difference in our lives. It enables us to shut out all the distractions of the World and lift the petitions of our heart to God. And that’s where we can leave them, in His Hands. Then after we pray, all we must do is believe. Sometimes that’s easier said than done. When my faith gets low, I remind myself one hundred times a day that God is able to keep what I entrust to Him. At all times we must believe, then keep on believing some more. God will come through. How can we be sure? Because our belief is based upon His might, not our own ability to stand strong. Prayer blesses God, but it also serves to encourage us. How? Prayer builds hope where there was despair. Any time we are in trouble, we can ask for God’s help. He will give us peace where there was confusion, but we must be honest with ourselves and with the Lord. The thing about thankful prayers is that we don’t have to wait until we’re hard pressed to call out to God. We can lift a prayer of thanksgiving to him right now for all the wonderful things He has done. Prayer is best when it comes from our hearts. God has it covered. He can be trusted and He is worthy of our praise. The Lord is touched by our prayers and He cares. Let’s offer our love to God this November. Let’s declare His faithfulness in the morning and at night, this Thanksgiving season and all year long. God is more wonderful than our hearts can imagine. Let’s praise Him for who He is and who we are in His presence.

October 2020
This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. This is one my favorite Bible verses. If we stop and let these words sink in, God made this day, ordained this day, designed this day. God isn’t on vacation; He still occupies the universe’s only throne. Each day emerge from God’s drawing room. Whatever the day brings, if it starts out badly we need to change our view and imitate the resolve of Psalmist: “I will rejoice and be glad in it” Lots of times we say we will rejoice when this day is over, but I don’t know about rejoicing in it this day. But God invites us to be happy while we are in the day. Paul rejoiced in prison, David wrote psalms in the wilderness, Jonah prayed in the belly of a whale, and Jesus prayed in the garden. Could we rejoice smack-dab in the midst of our day, imagine the difference if we could? Suppose neck deep in a terrible, horrible, no good, bad day we resolve to give it a chance. We would trust more, stress less, and amplify gratitude. Before long, the day is done and surprisingly turns out decent. So decent, in fact, that we resolve to give the next day the same fighting chance. Giving the day a chance works, each day holds: 84,000 heart beats, 1,440 minutes, a complete rotation of the earth, a circle in the sun dial, both a sunrise and sunset, a brand spanking new unsoiled, untouchable, uncharted and un-used day, a gift of 24 unlived hours. It’s our choice: Rejoice or Not. We no longer have yesterday. It slipped away as we slept. It is gone. We can’t change, alter or improve it. In a hour glass sand won’t flow upward; the second hand of the clock refuses to click backward. We do not yet have tomorrow; we can’t spend tomorrow’s money, celebrate tomorrow’s victories, or solve tomorrow’s problems. We have only today. This is the day the Lord has made. We must be present to experiment it, to enjoy it. Let’s not pile today up with yesterdays regrets or the troubles. We sabotage our day wiring it for disaster, struggling along yesterdays troubles, down loading tomorrow with challenges, and remorse of the past, with anxiety over the future. We aren’t giving the day we’re in a chance ~ Here’s my proposal: First thing in the morning consult Jesus. The Ancient of Days has something to say about our days. He doesn’t use the term day very often in the Scriptures but the few times He doesn’t use the term day very often in the Scriptures but the few times He does use it, it provides a formula for up grading each of our days to blue ribbon status. This is the day the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad in it. It’s entirely our choice!

September 2020
“Each Day”
Each day has 1,440 minutes. Do we value our relationship with God enough to spend a few of those minutes with Him? He deserves at least that much of our time and more. The question is He receiving it from us? Hopefully so, but if we find that we are simply “too busy” for a daily chat with our Father in Heaven, it’s time to take a long hard look at our priorities and our plans for the day ahead. Here’s a tip, organize your life around this simple principle, “God first”. If we place our creator where He belongs, at the very center of our day and our life, the rest of our priorities will fall into place. Each new day is a gift from God and if we are wise we will spend a quiet moment each morning thanking the Giver, our Father God.
Daily life is woven together each morning with the threads of habit and no habit is more important to our spiritual health than the discipline of daily prayer and devotion to God. When we begin each day with our heads lowered and our hearts lifted we are reminded of God’s love, His protection and His commandments. We can align our priorities for the coming day with God’s help, if we have acquired the unfortunate habit of trying to “squeeze” God into the corners of our life. It’s time to reshuffle the items on our do list by placing God first. God wants our undivided attention not the leftover of our day. If we haven’t already done so we need to form the habit of spending quality time with our Father. He deserves it and we all need it.

Gap Standers
Ezekiel 22:30 I looked for a man among them who would build the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land, so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.
This is a sad verse because Jerusalem was in a sad and horrible state, as America is too. The Lord was saying through his prophet, Ezekiel, that he was searching for someone to intercede for Jerusalem and do what was necessary for Jerusalem’s salvation. The word salvation means the act of saving or protection from harm, risk, loss or destruction. But, when God looked He found no one who would intercede for the nation. This was a bad situation for God and for the nation of Jerusalem. Our country America, who was blessed by God; not because of our people or because of our resources, it is because of our God. But, I am afraid America has for the most part turned its face and its heart from God. We are now reaping what we have sewn. Our only hope is God.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then they will hear from Heaven, and I will forgive their sins and will heal their land.
These are the conditions that God has said in his word and it’s his promise that if we will do this then he will heal our land. America is only a great country because our God is great. We as a nation, I’m afraid, have told God we no longer need Him to guide us or protect us. But regardless God is a faithful Father who still loves us, and in his love and mercy, He is calling us to be gap people. To stand in the gap to pray for America. To hold America up in prayer. This is the greatest country and please lets pray Gods healing mercy and grace on this great country we call our home. Kay
A Love Letter for God Our Father on this Father’s Day
Dear Father God, Jehovah and Daddy,
On this special day on earth we call Father’s Day I would like to remember you my Heavenly Father, who has taught me, guided and instilled wisdom in me, my entire life.
You have promised me countless times in your word and in my prayer time how much you love. You even went so far to show me how much you love by sending your only son.
Can I ask for anything else? I know I shouldn’t but I always do. As any good Father does, you do what you feel is right and always for my good.
You have always been there for me every day of my life, no matter what I was going through good times or bad times you where there.
This written letter is to thank you for being my Father. I have been blessed by being one of your children. Even though you have countless children I thank you for your undivided attention. And I thank you for always treating me as if I where your only child whenever I talk to you.
Happy Father’s Day God!!! Kay
