December 27, 2024 Update:

We are pleased to announce that our outbreak has been closed by the local Health Department. Masking is optional in SNF unless staff are symptomatic or have been exposed.

All staff are urged to continue washing their hands frequently and sanitizing their workstations. The transmission rates of respiratory viruses are still climbing in the community.

COVID OUTBREAK:

Skilled Nursing: Total count for outbreak: 3 Residents.

Assisted Living and Memory Care: 2 residents.

Testing: We are testing residents and staff who have been exposed to someone with covid, who are symptomatic, and any new admissions to the facility.

Source Control Update:

Broad facility-wide source control should be implemented in all patient care areas and patient-facing healthcare settings, including outpatient and long-term care, when the statewide combined weekly respiratory virus-associated hospitalization rate (as calculated by CDC) meets or exceeds 10 hospitalizations per 100,000 residents. Broad facility-wide source control can be discontinued once the combined weekly respiratory virus-associated hospitalization rate has been below 10 hospitalizations per 100,000 residents for two consecutive weeks.

Data will be posted on the MDH website weekly on Fridays.

Visitors are not required to be vaccinated to visit, and they are not required to show proof of vaccination. If you have been exposed to covid, we ask that you not visit at this time and test yourself. 

If you should test positive for COVID and have visited the facility within the last week prior to testing positive, please call the facility Infection Control Department and notify us of potential exposure.

As always, please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions.
