Patient Testimonial
" After being admitted into two different SNFs in Tucson for almost 100 days, I had minimal success. When I came to Santa Rita my success level was beyond my expectations. In 9 weeks I was able to stand, get out of bed and eventually walk and do car transfers. I was unable to do any of this at the previous SNF Centers in Tucson. I can unconditionally recommend the physical therapy program at Santa Rita, especially Jim and Joanne who I found to be knowledgeable and able to communicate that knowledge to their patients. The physical therapy I had at Santa Rita is 4xs better then the 2 facilities I had in Tucson. Jim is straight forward, he will tell you how it is and does not make false promises. Respect that. - Dennis
Visitation- Just a reminder that when you are visiting your loved one that is at Santa Rita, you do need to follow mask wearing, social distancing and hand hygiene. If you are not willing to following these basic measures to keep your loved ones safe, you will be asked to leave. Thank you
Happy 68Th Wedding Anniversary to the Ferners!
Santa Rita would like to thank Pima County for the unbelievable support during Covid-19. #MaskUpPimaCounty

La Posada Green Valley, AZ

Last week, La Posada wished one of its hard-working nurses a fond farewell and well-earned happy retirement!
Debi Shippy retired after eight years of service with La Posada.
Debi began working at La Posada in May 2012 as a nursing case manager. Debi realized not only her sympathetic ear would come in handy at La Posada resident Wellness Clinics, but her previous nursing experiences were handy when problem-solving medical issues in a large retirement community like La Posada.
In May 2018, Debi became La Posada’s Director of Campus Care Management.
Debi Shippy is an RN with 47 years of nursing experience. Before arriving as a senior living nurse, Debi worked as a nurse in newborn, general practice, psychiatric, locked psychiatric, and skilled geriatric nursing.
Debi’s soft-spoken ability comes in very handy when trying to convince a resident to leave independent living and move to assisted living. Caring to her means listening, supporting, helping, and being there when someone is facing an everyday challenge or life change. Caring is about mentoring one's mind, body, and soul.
Debi, we wish you the best in your new adventures, and we will miss your wit and wisdom. A reminder, if you choose to live near your aunt in Illinois, remember you are shoveling snow up there, not sunshine. 🙂

For your family. For the vulnerable people in our lives. For our health care workers. It’s never been more important:
✔️ Mask up
✔️ Stay home when sick
✔️ Avoid large gatherings and move them outside whenever possible

We weren't kidding when we said COVID-19 cases are increasing at an alarming rate. Just look at the graph below. Do your part to slow the spread. We've done it before, we can do it again. #WearAMask #StayHomeForThanksgiving #SocialDistance #WashYourHands #StayHomeWhenSick
Santa Rita Nursing and Rehabilitation Center
150 N La Canada Dr
Green Valley, AZ 85614
To Our Families:
We know you are concerned about the spread of COVID-19 and how it may impact your loved ones. Ensuring our residents are in a safe and healthy environment is our first priority.
Per guidance issued on November 18, 2020 from the federal government agency that oversees nursing homes, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), we are encouraging families to carefully consider family/group gatherings over the holidays. CMS recommends that residents do not leave the building, including during the holidays. Leaving the Center could increase your loved one’s risk for exposure to COVID-19.
We, at Santa Rita Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, understand this is a challenging time, and we want to make every effort to help you to connect with your loved one in safe but meaningful way, especially during the holidays. We will continue to offer Video Chats and Window Visits.
If You Still Decide to Take a Resident Home for the Holidays
Should you and your loved one ultimately decide to leave Santa Rita Nursing and Rehabilitation Center despite these government recommendations, please be advised that the federal government has also directed us to take extra precautions upon your loved one’s return in an effort to keep all of our residents and staff members safe.
If you believe your loved one may have been exposed to COVID-19 while visiting with you for the holidays, please notify us immediately.
Santa Rita Nursing and Rehabilitation Center will implement the following actions when a resident returns to the Center
1. Screen and increase monitoring for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 or other respiratory illnesses.
2. Test the resident for COVID-19 if:
a. signs and symptoms are present,
b. there was potential for exposure while outside of the Center, or
c. the resident left the facility for an extended period of time.
3. Place the resident on transmission-based precautions (e.g., keep them isolated to their room) if:
a. the resident is symptomatic,
b. left the Center, or
c. they may have been exposed while outside of the Center
Please bear in mind that recommendations for infection control precautions such as those listed above may continue to change and it is important that we follow local, state, and federal guidance.
Due to the need to place a resident returning from a family gathering into an isolation room, they most likely will not be able to return to their regular room until they have been on our quarantine unit for 14 days.
Ways You Can Help Reduce the Spread of COVID-19
Meanwhile, we hope that we can count on you to help us curb the spread of COVID-19, so we can better protect your loved ones and allow for more in-person visitations. Below are some suggestions on how to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spread.
1. Reduce the number of people gathering. Large gatherings offer more opportunity for the virus to spread from person to person, especially when a person infected has no symptoms yet can still spread the virus to others unknowingly.
2. Ask anyone who has had contact with someone who has been ill to not join the holiday celebration in person. If they have been exposed to someone who is/was ill, they may be spreading the virus without knowing they have it. Offer alternative means to stay in touch over the holidays, such as FaceTime, virtual parties, and virtual holiday meals.
3. Remain at least six (6) feet apart both indoors and outdoors. This reduces the amount of virus that you and/or loved ones may come in contact with.
4. Wear face coverings both indoors and outdoors. Face coverings help protect both you and your loved ones.
5. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap is not available.
6. Avoid touching your face or others’ faces. The virus may be on your hands and touching the face may bring the virus into the body.
7. Clean frequently touched objects and surfaces, such as doorknobs or countertops, often. The virus may be able to live for extended periods on certain surfaces. Cleaning of surfaces is important to reduce the risk of spread.
8. Avoid communal service utensils, passing food/drinks, potluck, or buffet style food service. This offers lots of opportunities for the virus to be passed from person to person. Instead, stick with individually prepared plates by a single server.
9. Whenever possible, if you are having a gathering, do so outside. When that is not an option, conduct the gathering in a well-ventilated area. This can be done by opening windows and doors, if possible.
10. Resist the urge to shake hands or hug others. Instead, verbally greet others. Talk to children about not hugging or touching prior to the gathering.
11. Check the local and state conditions and requirements for precautions and restrictions in place. This includes positivity rates and quarantine requirements, before crossing state lines.
As we navigate these challenging times, we express our sincere gratitude for your support in helping to protect our residents. This year’s holiday celebrations will undoubtedly be different than we have ever seen before, but together we can find safe ways for our residents to enjoy the holidays with their family and friends.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Fabiola Encinas as (520) 352-3032

To our community,
We are writing this letter from the front lines of TMC HealthCare.
We are not strangers. We are your neighbors, your friends and your families. Our children are in the same classes, even though they’re online right now. We patronize your businesses and stand in line together at the grocery store.
We’ve been here for you when you need us the most for more than 75 years. Now, we need you.
We work day in and day out caring for our community, then we go home to care for our own families, scared we might bring the virus home and worried about what the future will bring. We’ve held the hands of patients because their families can’t. We’ve watched as cases soar, as schools close and as the hospital nears or reaches capacity almost daily. Yet, we keep going.
We know you are tired. We see you.
Now, we need you to see us. We are tired, too. We are tired of seeing young people, our elders and everyone in between on ventilators. We are tired of watching people we know get sick from this virus. Our co-workers are getting sick and we are short-staffed. It is becoming more difficult to transfer patients who have critical needs to hospitals that have ICU capacity for greater levels of care.
We have activated our surge plans to expand our capacity for COVID patients and we are working to recruit travel labor so we can staff those beds. We are doing everything we can to keep our community safe.
Now it’s your turn. Our future - your future - is in your hands.
We know we’ve asked a lot. You’ve worn masks. You’ve sheltered in place. Our community has done so much, but now is not the time to give up. We are spending our holidays caring for sick patients. We are asking you, our beloved community, to think about your loved ones and make a few more sacrifices. Please heed the advice of public health experts by washing your hands, wearing your mask in public and staying home with your families. Please stop socializing in person with multiple households for a while.
The next couple of weeks will be critical in slowing the spread, and our hospitals need to catch up. We need your help in order to do that. We need our community to rally behind us. We need support and encouragement. We need each other. We are in this together, and we will get through this together.
Yours,
Judy Rich, RN,
Mimi Coomler, RN
Joy Upshaw, RN
