A Message from the Little Sisters of the Poor
October 19, 2021
Dear Family and Friends,
As most of you already know, after several weeks of being Covid-free, we have had two of our staff members test positive. They are staying away from the Home for the required period.
We are being advised by our local health officials and continually educating our devoted staff in order to carefully follow all CDC guidelines. It is helpful that our Residents are fully vaccinated. The Residents who normally do so may enjoy their walks outside or sit on the porches (socially distanced). Likewise, families may visit with the Residents outdoors or on the porches. Residents may also travel out into the community to visit family, etc. Kindly let the staff on the unit know on the Resident’s return whether or not they have been exposed to anyone who is unvaccinated. If they have, a rapid test will be done immediately upon their return.
In case of inclement weather which would prevent visiting with the Resident outdoors, kindly call the receptionist to see if the front visitor’s room might be a possibility. This room needs to be sanitized after every use.
The Residents may use the craft room, library, etc. as long as they do not gather in groups. Residents are welcome to come to Mass in the chapel as long as they wear masks and socially distance. There will be no communal dining or other communal activities until further notice.
As before, we welcome outside window visits. Feel free to arrange these with the Little Sister or staff on the units. If you prefer to use Facetime or Zoom to communicate with your loved one, please contact Oglanda Butler in Social Services or Maria Bertrand, our Life Enrichment Coordinator, at (502) 636-2300.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, Linda Deardeuff, administrator, or Leilani Krause, director of nursing. We will keep you posted. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Be assured of our prayers for you and your loved ones.
God bless you,
Mother Mary Richard, lsp
