Indoor Visits & Family Council Meeting

Dear Family and Friends,

As of 10/22/2020, we have no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in our care center or housing buildings. Our next round of staff testing is on 10/27/2020 for RenVilla staff. We follow all recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Our care center and housing buildings have plans to start indoor visitation. We have begun the process of scheduling those visits. As a safety precaution, we are requesting visitors to follow the same surveillance testing frequency requirements as employees. As a reminder, we will follow state and federal guidance for visitation, which includes following the core infection control protocols, including screening of all visitors for signs & symptoms of COVID, proper hand hygiene, face coverings, and social distancing. Please recognize that this virus is still spreading throughout our state and that we may need to restrict visitation if we experience positive cases of COVID-19 in our settings, identify a broader risk of exposure both in our settings and/or the broader community, or encounter other factors that affect the safety of visitation.

Due to high demand and the safety of our residents, all visits must be scheduled in advance. As a reminder, only two people may visit at one time. To schedule your visit or for more information on our visitation policy, please contact per building:

We will be hosting a virtual Family Council Meeting on November 4, 2020 from 5:00 – 5:30PM for RenVilla family members. The directions to access the meeting are as follows.

Please follow our website www.rhs.sfhs.org and/or Facebook page (@Renville Health Services) for all COVID updates and information on what is happening inside our care center. If you have specific questions or concerns, please contact Casie Knoshal, Administrator at 320-329-4373 or by email at cknoshal@renvilla.sfhs.org.
