Dear Families and Friends,

As we begin this holiday weekend I am happy to report that after three rounds of COVID testing, Jeanne Jugan Residence is no longer in outbreak phase as defined by DC Health. This means that we are officially in “No Outbreak Phase,” or “Phase Three” (see https://coronavirus.dc.gov/healthguidance for full details).

All staff will continue to wear KN95 masks and full face shields during direct Resident interactions.

For the Residents themselves, the good news is that they may now resume communal dining, non-essential medical visits and personal care services (podiatrist, beautician, etc.). We may also resume group activities and outings, and plan to do so immediately.

We will be able to celebrate the July 4th holiday as a family! This is great news for the Residents, who have been missing each other a great deal.

All Residents will still be required to wear facemasks or cloth face coverings when outside of their rooms and when anyone enters their rooms. This includes visitors. We ask you to wear a facemask as well, to continue to undergo our screening procedures, and to practice thorough hand hygiene and social distancing when in the building.

We thank you and all our staff members for your cooperation in following these COVID procedures, for your ongoing interest and support of our Home, and, above all, for your devotion to your loved one residing here at Jeanne Jugan Residence.

At this time we are in need of direct care staff, KN95 masks and bottled water. Of course the latter items are easier to obtain than the first, so please join us in praying for good staff members to join our Jeanne Jugan family. As you probably know, senior living facilities across the country are experiencing crippling staff shortages as a result of COVID-19, but we trust in God’s Providence — He will not abandon the elderly.

Wishing you and all you love many blessings and much happiness this summer,

God bless you,
Sr. Margaret Regina, l.s.p.
