A more intimate guest experience: We’ve recently taken this opportunity to create a more-intimate guest experience by reducing the number of guests in our program. This means more private rooms are available. The flipside is that program space fills quickly. Therefore, we recommend booking 3 weeks in advance in order to get your preferred room.

OHI face masks: Everyone on our campus is required to wear a face mask and we are providing masks for each community member in our program.

Certified organic bedding:We have organic bed linens in all of our guest rooms, which provide a new look and great feel.

Air purifiers: We’ve outfitted each guest room with a Molekule air purifier. The Molekule air purifier uses Photo Electrochemical Oxidation (PECO) technology that destroys a wide-range of pollutants, including allergens, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bacteria, mold, and viruses – Yes, viruses too. Great timing as we’re all now acutely aware how airborne contaminants can harm our health.

If you’ve been receiving our emails, then you know we are open and that we’ve been working hard to enhance our guests’ experience, while also providing a safer environment. Last March, we established new community health guidelines for everyone on our campus, which allowed us to remain open.

• Step 1 - At the time of reservation: We pre-screen to qualify guests for on-campus stays. Anyone experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms will be required to book their reservation 4 weeks after they are symptom-free.
• Step 2 - Before guests arrive: We check in with our guests 3-5 days before their arrival to ensure they qualify to be on our campus.
• Step 3 - On arrival: Per CDC protocols, we monitor temperatures of all incoming guests, using non-contact thermometers. We will continue to take guests’ temperatures at their request.

Smaller cohorts: We have fewer people on campus, including guests, staff and missionaries. OHI San Diego is limited to 50 guests on our 2-acre campus; OHI Austin is limited to 18 guests on our 14-acre campus. 

Physical distancing: We support physical distancing by booking our guests in single-occupancy rooms (one person per room), keeping 6-feet of distance between us at all times, and limiting the number of guests allowed in each classroom. This allows us to balance staying connected with each another while safely practicing physical distancing.

Trained staff: From the moment we became aware of the COVID-19 back in March of 2020, our staff immediately established safety protocols for the OHI community:

• We formed a compliance team to actively monitor the COVID-19 situation to ensure we not only follow the most-current CDC and county-prescribed safety protocols, but to ensure we exceed those standards.
• Before each work shift, if one of our staff members or missionaries exhibit any symptoms of cold or flu, they do not come to work.
• For those who do come to work - before every shift - each employee and missionary is required to take their temperature and if they exhibit a temperature of 100-degrees Fahrenheit or higher, they are sent home.

This is just one example of how our staff is trained to keep our OHI community safe.

Food handling: Food is solely handled by our trained kitchen staff. Our kitchen staff wear gloves and clear sanitation masks during food preparation and during mealtime service.

Clean facilities:

• We increased sanitation in all of our departments across our campuses, Including regular cleaning of doorknobs, light switches, and other surfaces around our campuses. Additionally, we sanitize and deep-clean our kitchens and community bathrooms on a regular basis.
• We put extra emphasis on keeping our dining hall and water stations sanitized before, during, and after mealtimes.
• We continue to provide alcohol-based hand-sanitizer stations in a variety of places on our campuses (public bathrooms, classrooms, etc.) – especially areas that concern food (dining area, wheatgrass juice room, and food prep classrooms).

1. Remain calm – Practice Alpha technique in any form that speaks to you (meditation, journaling, conscious breathing, singing, etc.)
   
   
2. Drink water – Stay hydrated and keep bodily fluids flowing.
   
   
3. Eat healthily – Increase your daily intake of fresh, organic vegetables, sprouts, seeds and fruit. Get your daily doses of essential vitamins and nutrients, like vitamins A, C and D—the go-to vitamins for boosting the immune system. To better absorb your vitamins, be sure to take your daily doses of zinc, magnesium and potassium.
   
   
4. Exercise – Movement helps keep breath and bodily fluids flowing, which in return strengthens your immune system. Just do it—but at a distance. Stay at least 6 feet away from other walkers, joggers or hikers if you go out. And while you’re at it, be sure to get your time in the sun and soak up that vitamin D – another immune booster!
   
   
5. Stay connected – While physical distancing is a smart practice these days, so is staying connected. There are plenty of ways to stay connected online. If online social media isn’t your thing, then pick up the phone and call a loved one.

All of these practices will help boost your immune system – keeping you healthy and safe.

In order to keep us all safe, we reduced the number of guests in our program – resulting in a guest experience that is more intimate. But space fills-up quickly. Therefore, we recommend booking 3 weeks in advance in order to get your preferred room.

If you’re considering a stay with us, call us and we’ll talk it through with you. We want to assure you the safety of our community members is our highest priority.
