What is Pegasus Senior Living\u2019s Current COVID-19 Protocol?<\/b><\/h3>

While the end of the pandemic is now in sight, our communities are not letting up when it comes to protecting the health and security<\/a> of residents and team members to promote positive senior care.

We are laser-focused on returning to normal operations as quickly as possible, while remaining mindful of the need for continued caution.<\/p>
