Monrovia Gardens recently partnered with Los Angeles County Public Health in an effort to provide care to the most vulnerable community during this pandemic. As such, Monrovia Gardens is now a designated Covid-19 facility. Essentially, this means that Monrovia Gardens is able to accept vulnerable patients who are Covid+ from an acute care hospital and provide the care they need as well as the non Covid+ patients. We designated a Covid + unit that is separated from the remainder of the facility with dedicated staff, designated equipment with a barrier and separate entrance as permitted. By accepting these Covid+ patients it frees up hospital beds across Southern California that are desperately needed for those in dire need.
