SFHS UPDATE:
• October 2nd, 2020 •
Our 4th round of entire-site testing was performed on 9/29/20. We had no new cases of COVID-19 with either residents or staff. This allows our care center to stop weekly testing of residents. Patio visits will be resuming on Monday October 5th following strict guidelines.
We continue to follow the recommended guidance from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), and take all appropriate measures possible to protect the health and wellness of all who live and work here. Our staff will be routinely tested weekly according to CMS guidelines. Our next round of testing will take place on Tuesday October 6th.
The coming cooler months will continue to challenge us in limiting the impact of COVID-19 on our community. It is important for each of us to think about how our actions affect others we come in contact with. We must protect one another. You are a key partner in the safe reopening of our care center, please remember to social distance, wear a mask, and practice proper hand hygiene. Remember to stay home if you have symptoms of COVID-19 or have had close contact with someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19.
If you or someone you know may be interested in working side by side with us as we truly make a difference in the lives of our residents, please contact our care center or visit www.jobswithus.org for more information.
We truly appreciate your patience as we navigate through these uncharted times and prepare to expand visits and other activities. We all look forward to the days ahead when we’re able to enjoy the simple pleasures of hugs, handshakes, and warm in-person greetings again.
