A Message from the Little Sisters of the Poor

February 18, 2022

Dear Residents and their Families and Friends,

We have been keeping up with you via eblasts, but want to update you here also, as it has been a long time!

We have had several employees test positive for COVID-19 over the last few months, usually one or two at a time. Last week we were encouraged by all negative results, but this week a Resident as well as an apartment Resident have tested positive. They are isolating in their own rooms.

Several weeks ago a representative from the Health Department spent part of a day with us and was very helpful. She assured us that the Residents could resume communal dining and activities, as long as they are social distanced and wear their mask whenever possible. They have enjoyed several events in the auditorium since. We are able to welcome a few volunteers back into the Home, where they will be regularly tested along with our staff members.

With the help of our Advisory Board members, we also had five members of the National Guard with us for two weeks, filling in for missing employees and accomplishing some moving projects and extra cleaning and sanitizing. They were a delightful addition to St. Joseph’s family!

We appreciate your cooperation in order to keep our vulnerable Residents safe, as well as our staff members. Visitors, after being screened at the reception desk, need to wear their mask properly at all times, go directly to the room of their loved one, maintain social distancing as much as possible, and return directly to the front entrance. They must not visit other rooms or circulate in the hallways. Although our county’s positivity rate is finally going down, we still have quite a ways to go!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, to Linda Deardeuff, administrator, or to Teresa Morgan, infection control nurse. We will keep you posted.

We thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Be assured of our prayers as we hopefully approach the end of this pandemic!

God bless you,
Mother Mary Richard, lsp
