Vaccine Clinics are rolling out across the Eskaton’s Family of Services


O’Connor Woods’ continued response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Eskaton began scheduling COVID-19 vaccine clinics in our communities as soon as the opportunity arose. This process was accomplished through the state pharmacy program in collaboration with CVS and Walgreens pharmacies. We have also had county public health and a private health system reach out to assist our staff and residents to obtain a vaccination.

For more information on the vaccine schedule where your loved one resides, please contact the community directly.

Communications
We deliver communication updates twice per month to our residents and their families. We provide weekly communications to our staff via letter, phone or email. These communications are provided below for residential living, rehabilitation and skilled nursing. Virtual tours, and on-site visits, can be scheduled directly with loved ones by contacting our community.

Importance of Partnerships
As part of our local commitment, and to strengthen provider relationships, O’Connor Woods has partnered with healthcare systems to create specialty programs to care for, and rehabilitate, those who test positive for Covid-19. Together, we are providing essential services for those most vulnerable and caring for their specific needs. Currently, our Eskaton Care Center Fair Oaks operates a specialty neighborhood for this purpose with additional COVID care provisions that are provided in other Eskaton locations.

Our community is ready to welcome you or your loved one home! Please reach out to O’Connor Woods to schedule a tour or an on-site visit at 209-956-3400.

Does your loved one need a friendly call or a support group? Call 916-334-1072 to sign-up for free friendly calls by trained volunteers or to access our virtual support groups.

Live Well at Home – Non-Medical Home Care

For Older Adults and their Families

For Clients and Caregivers


We continue to follow diligent infection control protocols in each of our communities per CDC and CDPH guidelines.


Protect yourself at home and in the community:

  • Practice social distancing (6 feet or more distance from others) when possible. Stay away from anyone coughing or sneezing – particularly, if you do not know the person.
  • Practice good hand washing/ hand hygiene frequently.
  • If you are sick: Stay home and self-isolate if you have flu symptoms or a fever.
  • If you are sick, call the physician, clinic or hospital before you visit them. Do not go to a clinic or hospital with symptoms without calling first – they will instruct you on the proper procedures.
  • The CDPH and CDC now recommend the use of a cloth face covering when in public places to limit transmission of the virus.
