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 daily and we change as needed (updated 11/24/2020):

• Allowing no visitors- unless loved one's health is declining then families are allowed to visit (giving them masks, taking their temperatures and making sure they wash their hands when they enter)
• Outside appointments, if not deemed essential, have been cancelled
• Meetings in the building- unless we feel are essential to patient care- have been canceled/postponed
• 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 potentially exposed to Covid-19 staff will be off of work for fourteen (14) days
• Daily temperatures for all staff- also wearing goggles/face shields and face masks in all resident areas of our community
• Twice a Week mandatory Covid-19 testing for all staff- Mower County rate of infection is 11.4%
• Continuing our home health services to those in the community
• Our adult day care programs have been closed until further notice
• Twice daily temperatures and oxygen level testing for 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

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 Administrator (Chris Schulz, 507-433-1808) or email cschulz@sacredhcc.or
