Jones Memorial takes first step in easing restrictions By BOB CLARK WELLSVILLE — As efforts to “flatten the curve” during the COVID-19 crisis appear to be working, Jones Memorial Hospital administrators were planning the next steps staff, patients and the community. “As we slowly and carefully ease restrictions, we will be working with the Allegany County Health Department to monitor for any spikes in COVID-19 in the county,” said Dr. Kevin McCormick, medical director at Jones Memorial. “It is like we are turning the dial a little at a time, observing to assure no harmful effects, and moving forward gradually.” This week, Jones has started “Phase One of the New Normal.” The num-
ber of patients being seen in the Jones Memorial Medical Practices has been expanded and the hospital has started scheduling a limited number of elective surgery procedures. “Our patients will notice when they come to the hospital or the medical practices, that it is not business as usual,” said Eva Benedict, CEO at Jones. “Adjustments have been made in every area to ensure the safety or our patients and our staff.” Here are some of the things the community can expect at the hospital: • Universal screening and masking: All who come to JMH will be asked questions about possible COVID-19 symptoms. Everyone will be provided a facemask if they do not have one. If you have a facemask, wear it to your
OLEAN TIMES HERALD 716-372-3121 • BRADFORD PUBLISHING COMPANY
appointment. • Staggered scheduling: This will limit the number of patients in an area at one time. In addition, the time for appointments will be expanded to avoid patient overlap and ensure social distancing is maintained. If you arrive more than
15 minutes before an appointment you may be asked to wait in your car. If you are late for your appointment, it may be rescheduled. • Telehealth: The providers in the Jones Memorial Medical Practices will determine which patients
need to be seen in person and which are candidates for telehealth appointments. • Registration changes: In many cases, registration will be done over the phone prior to the appointment with signatures provided upon arrival if
needed. For medical imaging exams, patients should go directly to the department to register. • Limited support people: The hospital will continue to restrict support people accompanying patients to appointments. Drivers of patients are asked to remain in their vehicles and will be contacted when patients are ready to leave. • Additional restrictions: If a provider, therapist or technician has additional restrictions, they will call patients before appointments to discuss them. “It is very likely that COVID-19 will continue to be a part of our lives for some time,” Benedict said. “By working together and following these precautions, we can keep our community as healthy as possible.”
COVID-19 flat again in Allegany County, Alzheimer's caregivers to meet by phone
BELMONT — Support groups for those caring for Alzheimer’s sufferers are moving to the telephone as local COVID-19 cases remain flat for the last 10 days. The Allegany County Department of Health reported earlier this week that there remained 33 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the county. The last new positive test was reported April 24. To date, 29 have recovered, while one death was reported at the end of March. A total of 26 residents remain in quarantine
or isolation, while 448 others have been released. Confidential telephone conference calls are being scheduled for locals providing care for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease starting this week. The Alzheimer’s Association, using 8by8 Conference systems, will be hosting the calls twice a month. The first, set for Wednesday at 1 p.m., will be followed at 1 p.m. May 19. Caregivers may attend either one or both. The Alzheimer’s Association Western New York chapter oversees
close to three dozen monthly caregiver support groups across the region. In Allegany County, the Chapter works with the Allegany County Office for the Aging to provide access to these groups. The groups meet monthly and are designed to provide emotional and social support for caregivers and help participants develop methods and skills to solve problems. For more information about the support group meetings and for the confidential conference number specific for these groups,
call the Office for the Aging at (585) 268-9390 or toll free at (866) 268-9390. Meanwhile, county officials offered their thanks to the many Meals on Wheels drivers and volunteers last week. Chairman Curt Crandall, R-Belfast, and the Allegany County Board of Legislators offered their thanks to the drivers who deliver more than 2,600 meals a week to seniors. “Thank you, Meals on Wheels drivers, for the personal touch and care you provide to our seniors,” Crandall said.

Some of the items being donated include large containers of cottage cheese and sour cream from Saputo Dairies in Friendship; flowers from Hannigan’s at East Wind; Girl Scout Cookies donated by NYPENN Girl Scouts; rolls of toilet paper donated by Genesee Valley School and CattaraugusAllegany BOCES; cat food and dog food from a collaboration with the SPCA Serving Allegany County; and face masks donated from Facemask Warriors, Joan Ball, and Allegany County EOM.

This is an update to all lot owners and community. We first want to thank all lot owners for abiding the rules we published last year. It made mowing much easier with fewer decorations to move and mow around. It also resulted for a more attractive and safe cemetery. Another thank you for supporting and encouraging Tedd Wichert for the job he did his first year of mowing. Many have also voiced their appreciation on how families of deceased were treated with respect during grave openings and burials. We are fortunate to have them both. The Boy Scouts have also volunteered and cleaned some of the veteran’s stones. Last fall we removed 9 hollow trees. The forester, at that time, also recommended removing trees with double trucks because they have a tendency to split down the center. Through the generosity of the Norton Trust Fund, we will remove them this Spring. We realize that removing trees is an issue to many people and we agree and respect that. In response to that, we assure that this is done as a safety issue to our employees, visitors and traffic on Sunnyside Road and protection to monuments lot owners have purchased. We have insurance coverage, but the original stone has sentimental value which can’t be replaced. After the tree removal this Spring, there still will be about 30 trees left and we assure you we have no future plans to remove any more. In the old cemetery, we have many old stones and foundations that are deteriorating. We will be repairing or replacing foundations as needed. Some stones have never had foundations. Years ago, lot owners paid a perpetual fee for upkeep of about $100. Now, mowing alone can cost from $6,000 - $8,000 each year. This past year, we received several donations, which we appreciate. Our only income is from sale lots and burials. We are also redoing map of old cemetery. To all the funeral directors during this difficult Spring, a huge thank you, especially our own Kevin and Patty. I can’t stress how serious each of our directors take their job. We have a great team.
