Dear St. William’s Living Center Residents, Friends, and Families:
I am writing today to inform you that two residents of St. William’s Living Center tested positive for COVID-19. We are in daily contact with the Minnesota Department of Health to ensure we are taking the appropriate steps to limit the spread of the virus.
We currently have the following active COVID-19 cases:
- St. William’s Living Center: 0 active staff cases and 3 active resident cases.
- McCornell Court Assisted Living: No active cases
To resume indoor visits, we must have no new COVID-19 cases for at least 14 days and two rounds of negative tests for all staff and residents. Compassionate care and essential care visits are allowed for in certain circumstances after review by the interdisciplinary team. If a resident needs a compassionate care visit, you may contact Michelle Hartmann at 218-338-1009.
We encourage loved ones to communicate with our residents by phone, video chat, or a window visit in Vogrin Hall if possible. You may call our activity department at 218-338-1010 to set up a time to schedule a video meeting or window visit with a resident.
The Minnesota Department of Health has set up a free hotline for anyone who has questions about Coronavirus (COVID-19). Call the MDH hotline at: 1-651-201-3920. We will continue to provide updates to you to keep you informed of our ongoing work.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at: Tim Kelly, Administrator at 218-338-1001; Lori Roers, Director of Nursing at 218-338-1009.
Sincerely,
Tim Kelly, Administrator
