Dear Residents and Families:
We are saddened to share a resident who was COVID-19 positive passed away today. Our sincere condolences and prayers to the family at this difficult time.
There are two additional COVID-19 resident cases on 4A – St. Joseph’s and two resident cases on 2C – St. Mary’s / St. Francis.
There have been 13 positive resident cases on 3CN – St. John’s with 9 of these residents having completed the infectious period and 3CS – St. Paul’s has two COVID-19 positive residents.
There are 7 COVID-19 positive residents on 2A – Sacred Heart with one resident having completed the infectious period.
4A – St. Joseph’s has 7 residents who are COVID-19 positive.
2CN – St. Mary’s and 2CS – St. Francis have 5 residents who have tested positive.
The families of these residents have been informed and if there are any issues with your family member, the unit staff will contact you by phone.
Visitation for 3CN – St. John’s, 3CS – St. Paul’s, 2A – Sacred Heart, 4A St. Joseph’s, 2CN – St. Mary’s and 2CS – St. Francis are suspended at this time. Exceptions will be made for compassionate reasons or end of life care.
Please ensure you do not visit the Home if you have any COVID-19 symptoms and if you test positive for the virus, please let your resident’s unit know as soon as possible for contract tracing purposes.
In response to the blizzard, we have proactively booked additional staff and worked with staff to provide transportation. We also tested our generator in advance, which will provide emergency lights, electrical plugs and climate control to both the A and C Buildings. We arranged for deliveries to arrive ahead of schedule to ensure there is sufficient food and supplies. We would also like to thank the staff who have agreed to stay overnight at the Home on stand-by to meet the staffing needs for the residents. We were able to accommodate the staff in separate space in the B building.
Thank you for your continued patience and support.
Please keep Holy Family Home in your thoughts and your prayers.
Sincerely,
Tara-Lee Procter (Maciuszonek) – Chief Executive Officer
