As the COVID-19 virus continues to spread and concerns continue to grow, The Templeton of Cary has decided to take precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of our future residents, family members, customers and staff. Much about the virus is still unknown, but we do know that the population we serve is at greater risk for the most serious impacts associated with this new strain of virus.
The wellbeing of our future and prospective residents and visitors is our priority. Based upon revised recommendations of The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), The Templeton of Cary will be limiting visitors to the sales office in order to help combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus. During this time, we invite you to connect with the sales staff via telephone, email, texts or even through video chats. Taking these precautions is vital to helping us avoid and minimize the possible spread of this virus in the community at large.
We will stay up to date with the latest information from the CMS and CDC. Our top priority is the health and well-being of our future residents, customers, staff and family members. We will continue to work with state and local public health and emergency preparedness officials to protect the community in which we live.
We thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate this challenge and remain focused on providing exceptional care and services for our customers, future residents and staff. Visit our website at templetonofcary.com or contact the sales office at 919-621-4286.
