Positive Employees at LFHS

Dear Family and Friends,

Today we were notified of two employees testing positive for COVID 19. We are still awaiting many results from this week’s testing. Should any remaining test results come back positive, we would notify family, residents and staff promptly.

Due to the positive test results, we will resume weekly point prevalence testing. Unfortunately this means we must restrict all indoor visitation except compassionate caregivers and essential caregivers at this time. These employees have not been on campus in the last two weeks. Due to the limited risk of exposure, we will not have to quarantine residents. Residents will continue communal dining and small group activities at this time.

If you would like to schedule an outdoor visit, please use this link https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=22593652

Outdoor visits will only be scheduled as the weather allows and are subject to cancellation in the event of bad weather.

We will be testing all residents and staff again on 4/20/21.  If no additional cases arise, we may resume indoor visitation following that week. We are following recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

Madelyn Blaha,

Administrator
