Following all recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, we will slowly be easing some precautions we introduced amid the active cases in RenVilla.
- 07/13/2020 – Tentatively looking into discontinuing facility wide droplet precautions. This means staff will no longer be fully gowned in each resident room, and residents will be able to come out of their rooms individually to spend time outside for 1:1 activities with staff.
- 07/15/2020 – Tentatively initiating scheduled, monitored, social distanced patio visits for residents and guests. More information on this will be coming shortly.
- Once we no longer have residents in our COVID Unit, we plan to reintroduce beautician/salon visits for our residents.
Updated information on our planning and preparedness for Coronavirus and our activities within our care center can be found by visiting our website (www.sfhs.org) or our Facebook page. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or concerns.
