Charlestown, a senior living community managed by Erickson Living in Catonsville, today announced that it has completed its COVID-19 vaccination clinics with 97 percent of its residents receiving both doses.
“Since the onset of the pandemic more than 12 months ago, our team has worked diligently with residents, their families and local health officials to help safeguard the well-being of everyone who calls Charlestown home,” said Clara Parker, executive director of Charlestown. “I’m proud of the exceptional results we have achieved by working together–and I’m thrilled that so many of our residents now have an additional level of protection against COVID-19. We could not have reached this important landmark without the professionalism of our partners at CVS, the unwavering commitment of our staff and the resilience of our residents.”
Every resident who wanted a vaccine at Charlestown has now received both doses, and look forward to safely enjoying the abundant on-campus amenities, dining experiences, and friendships that are hallmarks of Charlestown’s active, vibrant lifestyle. Residents, staff and visitors continue to take precautionary measures, including wearing masks, maintaining social distance and frequent hand-washing, to keep each other safe and well-protected.
Residents have expressed gratitude for the opportunity to receive the COVID-19 vaccination conveniently on campus.
“At Charlestown, we are a family and we care for one another. We’ve been through so much in the past year, but we’ve done it together. We got the shots because we care about our neighbors and want to see them more often,” said John and Dawn Strumsky, who have lived at Charlestown for nearly a decade. “Now that the vaccine is here, we feel confident and optimistic about the future. Charlestown made it so easy. We didn’t have to worry about where to find the shot. We didn’t even have to leave the building! We feel blessed and very grateful. We’re very lucky to be at Charlestown, where we feel totally safe and secure.”
