Dear St. William’s Living Center Residents, Friends, and Families:

I am writing today to inform you that a St. William’s Living Center employee tested positive for COVID-19.  Visitation will be limited to compassionate care visits until we complete two rounds of outbreak testing without any new positive cases.  If there are no additional cases identified during outbreak testing, then we will reopen visitation.

Compassionate care and essential care visits are allowed in certain circumstances after review by the interdisciplinary team.  To schedule a compassionate or essential care visit, please contact our activities department at 218-338-1010 or Michelle Hartmann in Social Services at 218-338-1008. 

Residents may also leave the facility for outings if desired, so when the weather is nice visitors may take residents for a walk around the block or go for a car ride.

We currently have the following active COVID-19 cases:

• St. William’s Living Center:  3 active staff case and 0 active resident cases.
• McCornell Court Assisted Living: No active cases
