A case of COVID-19, the illness resulting from the novel coronavirus, has been diagnosed in an employee at St. Ann Rest Home. The employee is in quarantine at home. We isolated all residents in their rooms. At the time of posting this information no other employee or resident exhibits any respiratory symptoms. If there is any change in the residents’ condition, we will update our blog.
We have notified public health officials as required and are following procedures recommended by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. We are taking every step as recommended by authorities to contain the spread. We want to make residents, their families, our dedicated staff, and our community aware of this situation and reassure everyone that we are on top of the situation.
At this time, our focus is on ensuring the safety and well-being of our residents and staff members and we are following proper infection control and emergency preparedness to ensure their safety and well-being.
