A Message From Our Mission Leader

“There is nothing permanent except change”  ~ Heraclitus

I was reminded that my last posting I talked about the Christmas holidays, so an update is in order with all the changes we’ve had the past 5 months.

We have had vaccine clinics for both Arbor Terrace and the Home on Eighth, we’ve been able to open up to more visitation, small groups gathering and at Arbor Terrace Happy Hour is back! We are not close to being back to normal but feeling some normal in a few daily activities.

The thing that is not changing is following all the guidelines from the MN Department of Health, CDC and CMS. We continue to follow the strict infection practices, along with wearing masks and face shields in resident care areas. The Home on Eighth continues to test staff and residents based on the county positivity rate (required by CMS). We will follow the necessary protocols if we have a positive COVID test in any of our settings, but are thankful for the months we have not had one!

I know it is difficult as many businesses are opening back up, summer is trying to show up and we all want to be back to normal. Please be patient as we follow the guidelines and continue to work hard to keep everyone safe. We are thrilled to see visits happening and look forward to the day when visits will be able to be back to normal.

I am blessed to work some of the most amazing staff members, I am so proud of their work the past 15 months and continue to be amazed at their dedication, care of the residents and selfless acts of kindness.

Please continue to keep Samaritan Bethany staff and residents in your prayers.

Stay safe and healthy!
