As we weave through this unprecedented pandemic that is effecting the United States and the world, we thought it would be prudent to share with you what we are doing at Sacred Heart to help prevent/fight this deadly virus from getting into our community.

"THANK YOU" to the staff at Sacred Heart for all that you have done and continue to do through this challenging time. 

Below is what we are currently doing in our community. This changes sometimes weekly/daily and we change as needed (updated 11/22/2021):

• We are on weekly Covid-19 webinars/conference calls
• If any staff member has tested positive for Covid-19 they will be off of work for ten (10) days and able to return to work when they pass our return to work protocol. If exposed to Covid-19 unvaccinated staff will be off of work for fourteen (14) days. Vaccinated staff can continue to work as long as they are not having any symptoms (if symptomatic vaccinated staff will need to be off for 14 days). 
• Daily temperatures for all staff- also wearing goggles/face shields and face masks in all resident areas of our community
• Our Home Health Agency will be closing November 30th, 2021
• Adult Day Program I opened in early June 2021
• Twice daily temperatures and oxygen level testing for all residents
• Using Facetime, Zoom, Messenger for residents to talk with family members. Family members have also been coming to their loved one’s window to see them/talk- Indoor visits are currently still acceptable-Outdoor visits are preferred when weather is permitting

Please continue to adhere to the decisions we have made to keep our community safe. Keep us in your prayers. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call and talk with the Director (Chris Schulz, 507-433-1808) or email cschulz@sacredhcc.org
