A Note from Mother Theresa Louisa, lsp

March 29, 2021

Dear Families & Friends,

Our monthly round of testing has just been completed and all results are negative for the third month in a row.

The Minnesota Department of Health is allowing Residents from Long Term Care Facilities to go out of the Home with their families. Residents who have been vaccinated do not need to be quarantined after visiting with families. Safety precautions such as wearing a mask, hand hygiene and social distancing are still encouraged to be followed as best as possible during outings.

The Residents are so happy to be able to have the opportunity to once again navigate freely within the Home. They are all delighted to be able to enjoy the sun in the garden and they look forward to warmer days ahead being outdoors to take in the beautiful flowers and hear the birds singing.

We are most grateful, on a restricted basis, to have the opportunity to again welcome visits from family members. Each week families are receiving an email with a link to sign up to visit with their loved ones. Having family back up to their rooms has brought the Residents great joy.

All recommendations of the Minnesota Department of Health and the CDC are being followed. Changes for long term care facilities are happening and things change rapidly. As always, we will continue to keep you up-dated.

As we enter into the Holiest of Days of the year this week, let us continue to pray for all those who have suffered and died and for an end to this coronavirus pandemic.

All of us at Holy Family Residence are deeply grateful for the many generous donations we have received throughout this pandemic. May the blessings of the Risen Lord guide you, protect and be with you this joyful Easter season and always.

Gratefully in Christ,
Sister Theresa Louisa, lsp
