November 17, 2020 – Parker
Jewish Institute has begun “window
visits” so that residents and their
families can spend time together
during the COVID-19 pandemic.
For these visits, residents are
escorted to the windowed area of
the indoor lower level cafeteria
where they spend time with up to
two visitors. The visitors sit on the
other side of the glass, outdoors
at Parker’s Lower Level Patio.
Parker set up inviting, cabanastyle
spaces that allow airflow on
the patio so that visitors can enjoy
family time in comfort, while
staying safe amid the pandemic.
An intercom system is available for
residents and families to facilitate
communication during the visit.
Reservations are required for
the visits, which are limited to
30 minutes, and take place on
weekdays, from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
And there are 30-minute intervals
in between each visit to allow for
safe infection control practices to
protect against the virus.
“These visits are so meaningful
for residents and their families,”
said Michael N. Rosenblut, Parker’s
President and CEO. “We’ve
