We have now conducted point prevalence testing thru the 1st floor and will update you with these emails. Should your loved one test positive, you will be contacted directly.

 

All visitation including in person, window visits and virtual visitation has been halted.

 

We remain in outbreak status.

 

We understand that some of the information may seem repetitive but in continuing communications we like to ensure everyone has all the information readily available to them.

 

We continue to follow our COVID-19 protocols as well as the direction of the health authorities which include:
