Everyone at Common Ground, Connecting Life, and Goodness Grows is working to keep our family
and community healthy. We are following all CDC guidelines, practicing good prevention techniques,
and keeping an eye on new information.

Info will be posted here as things develop and change. We ask everyone to stay home if not feeling well and to decide what your own comfort level is with regards to wearing a mask or not.

Staying Safe Together

Practice everyday preventive actions to help reduce your risk of getting sick and remind everyone in your home to do the same. 

• Following state guidelines, mask use is optional for all, though if you are unvaccinated, the CDC encourages wearing a mask.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home when you are sick, except to get medical care.
• Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue and throw the tissue in the trash.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing; going to the bathroom; and before eating or preparing food.
• If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects (e.g., tables, countertops, light switches, doorknobs, and cabinet handles).

In This Together

Amended COVID-19 Orders

from Goodness Grows

Goodness Grows worked with DODD to ensure we had a safe plan. Families choose schedules they felt comfortable with, knowing that they can be modified at any time. Letters went home recently to let clients & families know that mask wearing will be up to them from June 2, 2021 forward, unless we get new guidelines that tell us differently. We will continue to social distance, especially when eating, and to remind our folks about proper handwashing.

We will continue to follow all the health and safety guidelines and to stay informed about the evolving COVID-19 situation.
