We continue to follow all recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). Residents are being monitored throughout all shifts. All staff continue to be screened prior to entering the building and are required to wear surgical masks and eye protection. Gowns are also being worn when in resident rooms.
In honor of Father’s Day this weekend, Renville Health Services would like to extend our appreciation to all Fathers for all they do and continue to do for us. Father’s Day is a time to honor the men who have influenced our lives and protected us when needed. This year, CoVid-19 precludes us from being together on this special day. We encourage you to visit virtually or through a window visit. Staff are working diligently to meet the high demands for virtual visits and window visits. To ensure families are able to see their loved one during the upcoming Father’s Day and any other time, we ask that you contact the care center to schedule your window visit or virtual visit ahead of time.
