Have You Been Fully Vaccinated?

April 30, 2021

In general, people are considered fully vaccinated: ± 

  • 2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or 
  • 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine 

If you don’t meet these requirements, regardless of your age, you are NOT fully vaccinated. Keep taking all precautions until you are fully vaccinated.

Success Story: James Lewis

April 12, 2021

We’re thrilled to see our residents adjust, develop relationships, and be happy in our community

James came to live in our community in March 2020. Upon admission, James required much assistance with his care and daily functioning and chose not to interact with other care team members and residents.

James saw a transformation here at West Liberty.

Now James enjoys his day. He loves taking care of plants, having conversations with team members, joins in on facility activities. James now is able to perform his own care.

Congrats James and his dedicated care team!

Success Story: Roger Litteral

April 12, 2021

We love seeing our residents be able to physically improve, enjoy their day, and become more independent. West Liberty Nursing and Rehabilitation is proud to share resident Roger Litteral’s success story.


Roger came to live with us in November 2020. Upon admission, Roger was weak, wanted to stay in the bed all the time and required assistance with daily activities. Roger’s condition became worse in December 2020 and required hospitalization.


Prior to going out to the hospital Roger had talked to the MDS coordinator and DNS about his daughter that he hadn’t ‘seen since she was a little girl. After searching and talking to people in the community they were able to locate his daughter and reunite them just in time for Christmas.


Roger is now back to our facility and doing well. 🎉 He has greatly improved in being able to perform daily activities. He is getting out of his room and greeting care team members when they arrive. Roger also is enjoying his many conversations and visits from his daughter.


We’re so glad to be part of Roger’s journey!
