Dear Residents, Families and Friends,

It has been a long time since we had anything to post relative to the pandemic, so an update is long overdue. Our local transmission rate has remained at “substantial” for some time now, so while we have not been wearing face shields when giving Resident care, everyone in the Home is still required to wear a face mask.

Over the weekend one of our Villa Residents tested positive for COVID-19 after not feeling well and seeking medical attention at the emergency room. Several Residents and Sisters who were exposed were tested and all tested negative. Nonetheless, out of an abundance of caution they have been isolating in their rooms this week with repeated testing.

Those exposed were able to come out of quarantine on Thursday, February, except for one person who tested positive. All will continue to monitor themselves for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 for 14 days.

No one from the 1st floor Resident units was exposed, so their life has gone on as usual, thank God.

On Saturday, February 11 we celebrated the World Day of the Sick with a special Mass and the anointing of the Sick for those who wished to receive this sacrament.

The Home and Villa are still open to visitors. We thank you for being attentive to masking, social distancing and good hand hygiene.

Wishing you all a blessed Lenten season,
Mother Margaret Regina and the Little Sisters
