Saber Healthcare Group is committed to protecting our communities by giving our staff and residents the opportunity to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. A trained CVS pharmacy professional will be administering the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, depending on the location, in our facilities in the upcoming weeks.
Please consider giving consent for your loved one to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. We would also like for you to consider receiving the vaccine yourself when it becomes available to the general public. If you have any questions about who should or shouldn’t receive the vaccine, please reach out to a doctor or physician.
Our communities will continue to protect our residents, staff, and visitors by continuing to follow all local, state, and federal guidelines regarding COVID-19. Not every staff member and resident will be vaccinated, so we will continue to take measures to keep our communities safe.
For any questions or concerns, please reach out to contact@saberhealth.com.

If you know a scout, let them know you appreciate all of their hard work and dedication!
We’d like to introduce you to Katey Mikolay, Homestead II’s Director of Nursing. She has been working for our building for over 4 years and she has been in long-term care for over ten years.
“I enjoy the amazing team and family. I like the environment at Homestead II,” Katey said.
Katey loves taking pictures in her free time. She likes dogs, animals, music, and art. She doesn’t like olives. Her favorite quote is "The Oz behind the curtain.” One fun fact about Katey is she is the middle child of 5.
Thanks for all you do for our residents, Katey!
