A Message From Our Mission Leader
As we balance Samaritan Bethany’s desire to be transparent with our need to protect the privacy of our residents, we are unable to release information on specific test results.
We continue to work closely with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to ensure all protocols for senor living are being followed. As we learn of a positive COVID-19 case, we are implementing procedures designed to mitigate the spread of the virus.
- Public health officials are notified as required, and all procedures recommended by the CDC and MN Department of Health are implemented.
- No unauthorized staff members or residents are allowed to enter an affected neighborhood.
- Staff members providing care for COVID-19 residents are utilizing full personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure the virus is not spread to other residents or staff.
- Whenever possible, staff assigned to care for persons with COVID-19 have a designated entrance and exit to the COVID positive neighborhood to eliminate contact with other staff and residents.
- We are constantly holding meetings with staff and leadership to review our pandemic plan and make adjustments where necessary.
We had been looking forward to starting indoor visits, even on a limited basis, but those are on hold until we have two weeks of no new positive cases. We hope you continue to take advantage of virtual calls and phone calls. The residents love to hear from you and want to know that you are safe too!
Holidays are approaching, a time when family gathers to celebrate. We know this will be different for all of us this year and are coming up with plans to make it a happy and positive time for residents and staff at Samaritan Bethany. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.
Stay safe and healthy!
