Dear Friends and Families,

Good afternoon, hope everyone is doing well and staying safe in our ever-changing world with Covid-19. Although it has been a while since we have sent you all an update, we are happy to report that we have not had any additional positive cases of Covid-19 since January 14 for either Residents or staff. Our NEST remains closed, and the size has been decreased back to our original 3-room unit.

We had our final vaccine clinic on Monday, February 1, and are happy to announce that 98% of our residents are fully vaccinated against Covid-19. We also have 66 members of our staff who have been fully vaccinated as well. We do have some of our employees that received their vaccines from other employers, so we are hoping that number will continue to increase.

We are staying vigilant about wearing our protective equipment, N95 face masks and eye protection, in hopes that we may keep the virus out of our home. We are hopeful that we may be able to offer some limited visitation if we can do so. While our County remains at the Level 3 (red) Public Emergency, the positivity rate for Covid-19 has slowly decreased over the last few weeks.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us. We hope and pray that we can continue to keep our Residents safe into the future. We of course continue to follow all CDC recommendations to protect ourselves and others, especially when the community is experiencing spread of the virus.

Sincerely,
Mother Marie Edward and Jenny Nijak, Administrator
