Dear St. William’s Living Center Friends and Family,
Due to an increase in the Otter Tail County COVID-19 Case Rate, the nursing home will move to LEVEL 1 visitation rules. Therefore, indoor visit will be suspended until the county case rate decreases. McCornell Court Assisted Living will remain at LEVEL 2 visitation with no changes to indoor visits.
Fortunately, we have not had any positive COVID-19 cases in residents or staff. We are regularly testing all our employees so that we can identify any cases.
Visitors may call the activity department at 218-338-1010 to schedule an outdoor visit. Appointments must be scheduled in advance for outdoor visits. If activity staff are not available, visitors should leave a message and staff will return the phone call. Outdoor visits are scheduled in half hour time slots, which will allow for a 20-minute visit. This will allow staff time to assist residents to get to and from their assigned visit. Longer visits will be taken into consideration for special circumstances. Visitation hours are based on staff availability.
The essential caregiver program will resume under the LEVEL 1 visitation. The policy follows MDH guidelines and is a narrowly defined exception to visitor restrictions which may allow certain cares to be provided by a personal caregiver from outside our community.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at: Tim Kelly, Administrator at 218-338-1001, tim@stwilliamslivingcenter.com ; Lori Roers, Director of Nursing at 218-338-1009.
