Good Afternoon –

Please see the results from this week below. You will be notified if any tests return positive.

• RenVilla – 0 residents and 0 staff tested positive. Conducting surveillance testing only due to no new positives in over 8 weeks.
• Meadows on Main – 0 tenants and 0 staff tested positive. Conducting surveillance testing only due to no new positives in over 12 weeks.
• Prairie View – 0 tenants and 0 staff tested positive. Conducting surveillance testing only due to no new positives in over 10 weeks.

RenVilla continues to test staff weekly. MOM/PV continues to test staff monthly. We will always test an employee or resident/tenant showing signs or symptoms of COVID-19. We are following recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

On Wednesday this week, CMS released new recommendations regarding visitation. This is very exciting, and we are beginning those preparations. However, we have yet to receive guidance from the Minnesota Department of Health on how this will roll out in our buildings. We expect this guidance to be coming out very soon.  Please watch for new guideline changes in next week’s update.

In the meantime, please continue scheduling visitation with the person below. Testing needs will vary between buildings based on current guidance:

• Rhonda Marcus 320.329.4374 (RenVilla)
• Deb Wertish 320.329.4377 (MOM)
• Amy Klawitter 320.848.2093 (PV)

In addition, we do encourage window visits as the weather is getting nicer. These do not need to be prescheduled, but if your loved on will need assistance getting to the window, please call the charge nurse (RenVilla) at 320.329.8381.

Thank you,
