?Yesterday, Seniors inthe Senior Community, on New Hope Road, received a letter, from their property
management company. The letter stated that the Senior Community had a confirmed
case of COVID 19, within the Retirement Community. {{more: continue… }}Seniors were instructed to
communicate by phone with each other and directed all questions to the
Management email and phone number. This created concern within the community as
Seniors tried to confirm this information outside of the Management Company.
??????Several reached out toKennedale News, sending a copy of the letter. Kennedale News tried to confirm
with the City of Kennedale, Tarrant County, and the CDC with no results.
Because of the breaking news, the City of Kennedale acted quickly to confirm
with local and federal agencies. They received none.
??????Today, Fire Chief JamesBrown contacted the family in question and confirmed that there was no
confirmed case of infection. He then spoke with the Management Company to get
to the bottom of the letter, sent to Seniors.
???By 4 pm today, a new letter was delivered, to members of
the Senior Community, apologizing for the alarm.
I want to start by
apologizing for any confusion and undue stress [the letter] has caused all of
our tenants. We were misinformed on the status of a tenant in regards to the
coronavirus. At this time there is NO
CONFIRMED CASE on property.? ? Letter from Management.
???Citizens of the Seniorcommunity have assured to the Kennedale News, that their current management
employees are ?the best they have ever had? and they understand the mistake.
They also are relieved.
??????The Kennedale Newsapplauds the City, the Mayor, and Council, for their swift reaction to the
letter and resolving the situation. We are relieved that it was a false alarm
and everyone is safe.
