Legacy Village at Park Regency to Begin COVID-19 Vaccinations as Early as Jan. 20

MOULTRIE, Ga. (January 20, 2021) - Legacy Village at Park Regency, a premier senior living and memory care community in Moultrie, Georgia, will take a major step toward ensuring a healthy, safe community by offering COVID-19 vaccinations to all residents and team members starting on January 20.

Members of the senior community have been hard hit by the COVID-19 virus, and it continues to pose a high risk due to their age and possible underlying medical conditions — something the senior living community has worked tirelessly to counteract over the past several months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Due to the high risk for seniors, as well as the increased risk of direct or indirect exposure for healthcare personnel, the CDC has included both populations in their recommended Phase 1 roll-out of vaccine administration.

“We’ve been waiting patiently for this day for a very long time. We’re beyond thankful for the level of safety and security that this vaccine will offer to everyone in our Legacy family, and we know the collective relief will be felt throughout our organization,” said Allen Chambers, Executive Director at Legacy Village at Park Regency.

Legacy Village has been diligent in their efforts to procure the vaccines, with first communications beginning in early fall of 2020.

As a result of ongoing communication with pharmacies at both the local and national levels, sufficient quantities of vaccines were secured for all residents and team members who wish to participate.

“We remain hopeful that this vaccine will bring us one step closer to reuniting our residents and families. COVID has brought unique challenges, and our Legacy family has shown both mental and physical fortitude throughout. Our residents and team members have made me proud,” said Chambers.

As the CDC recommends two doses of the vaccine for optimal protection against the virus, Legacy Village at Park Regency has already scheduled tentative dates for the second dose of the vaccine.

Legacy Village at Park Regency will continue to follow all COVID-19 safety guidelines set forth by the CDC following the administration of vaccinations, including N95 masks worn by all team members, social distancing, and regular wellness checks for all residents and team members.
