Dear Residents, Family Members, Staff and Visitors,

As a follow up to Friday’s Covid update, we have one positive case to report. A resident has tested positive for Covid within the last 24 hours. Per our policy, this resident has been placed on isolation and will receive proper care while being closely monitored. This is our second resident to test positive for Covid in less than a week. At this time, we have two staff members who remain out on isolation following positive Covid tests. Testing will continue throughout this week on residents and staff in an effort to further prevent the spread of Covid. We will provide updates as needed.

I also want to share that there is still time to sign up for our next vaccination clinic. The clinic will be conducted on Tuesday, September 23. As mentioned before, this clinic will offer vaccines for Covid, RSV and Influenza. Residents and staff who would like to sign up for the clinic should contact our Nursing Administration department at extension 2100.

Covid cases are increasing in our area, per information from our state health department. We will continue to keep our precautions and guidelines in place. If you have any questions about masks, testing, infection prevention or vaccines, please do not hesitate to reach out to our staff. We will be glad to assist you as we need everyone’s cooperation in keeping our residents and staff as safe as possible.

Thank you,
Ed Walter, Administrator

Sincerely,


Ed Walter,
Administrator
