This week’s positivity rate is 30.2%. We had an employee test positive for Covid this week, no residents and 2 are in quarantine for testing positive on the 19th. We are now testing residents 2 times a week for at least 2 weeks. This past week and next week. And we continue to test all staff 2 x a week as long as we have staff positive /residents positive. We will go back to testing staff once a week when the % rate falls below 10%. We certainly do not want to give it to your family/residents. Your help is greatly appreciated. Please check in at front lobby and be screened. Wear a mask while in facility, use good hand hygiene, social distance (6 feet apart). Please do not wander up and down the halls. Hand sanitizer is available on table and throughout the facility. We also have masks available. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may continue to cause.

Per CMS guidelines updated 11-12-21 the facility is now fully open to unrestricted indoor and outdoor visitation. 

Although there is no limit on the number of visitors that a resident can have at one time, visits should be conducted in a manner that adheres to the core principles of COVID-19 infection prevention and does not increase risk to other residents. Visitors should not walk around the facility, rather go directly to the resident's room. 

 

Core Principles of COVID-19 Infection Prevention 

• Visitors who have a positive viral test for COVID-19, symptoms of COVID-19, or currently meet the criteria for quarantine, should not enter the facility. All visitors will be screened prior to visiting residents.

• Hand hygiene (use of alcohol-based hand rub is preferred)

 • Face covering or mask (covering mouth and nose) and physical distancing at least six feet between people, in accordance with CDC guidance.

 

We encourage visitors to be tested on their own before coming to the facility (e.g., within 2–3 days). 

CMS strongly encourages all visitors to become vaccinated and facilities should educate and also encourage visitors to become vaccinated.

 

If you have any questions please reach out to the facility Administrator or Director of Nursing.
