RHS Testing Guidance

Testing Information and Guidance

RHS will assist in facilitating testing for Residents, Staff, Contracted Providers, Vendors, Essential Caregivers, Compassionate Care Visitors, and Visitors. In order to best protect residents from the transmission of Covid-19, we are requiring visitors to be tested 2-3 days prior to the prescheduled indoor visitation date. A PCR test will be provided which is considered the “gold standard” in SARS-CoV-2 detection.

If you choose to have testing completed at RHS, the tests will be processed by the Twin Cities Physicians Group. For this provider, the information below will need to be provided to RHS no less than 5 days prior to the test date. Test dates will occur each week stated below. If you are uninsured, please state this on the form and provide a copy of your photo ID to the facility. If the test is not covered by your insurance, you may be billed privately.

This information is needed in order to have your test label and requisition form completed prior to the test date. On the test date, you will be required to complete a consent form in order to be tested. Lab results will be returned to the facility. Upon receipt, your results will be communicated to you.

This form must be returned by the Monday prior to the Friday test date. The test will consist of a nasal swab. Visitors may go to either RenVilla or Prairie View to be swabbed. To have the swab completed, please go to the building main entrance during the allotted time and ask for the nurse. Times that visitors may go to the building to be swabbed are as follows:

  • RenVilla – Thusday 5:00PM – Friday 11:30AM
  • Prairie View – Friday 8:00AM – 11:30AM

This information must be returned to Casie Knoshal cknoshal@renvilla.sfhs.org at least 5 days prior to the test date.
