Good afternoon,

Just wanted to give you all a quick update and let you know that we are no longer in an outbreak, which means that we have not had anyone test positive for Covid for the past 14 days. While this doesn’t affect you as visitors, it changes our testing schedules for the employees. We will continue to routinely test unvaccinated employees twice a week but will only test vaccinated employees if they have symptoms or if we go back into an outbreak.

Some good news for all of you has to do with the community spread, or the county positivity rate. It has fallen to 9.8%, which allows you all to visit without making a reservation. We still require you to wear masks and eye protection, but you may visit your friends and families here at Little Sisters without calling ahead for an appointment.

We continue to stay vigilant when dealing with all things Covid-related. As many of you know, we completed our first round of booster vaccine shots this week for the residents and the staff. We are happy to be able to offer them to keep everyone safe from the virus. We continue to wear our personal protective equipment and follow all infection control recommendations from the CDC and the Ohio Department of Health.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,
Mother Marie Edward & Jenny Nijak, Administrator
