Good Morning Families and Friends

Sheyenne Care Center COVID test occurred on Thursday (1/14/2021). The test result from on Thursday COVID test identified 100% negative both residents and staff results.

We will be reopening for visitation under limited restriction starting January 18th. Families please contact our social service department to set up a visit. Please remember if a positive COVID test shows up with a resident or staff visitations will need to stop, under CMS guidelines.

If positive test results occur, residents will be moved into isolation immediately. The nurse will notify the family member immediately of the positive test result, and the resident will be moved onto the isolation area, located on the 4th floor. Employees testing positive employees are sent home in isolation until cleared to return to work.

We continue to offer residents and workers the COVID vaccine. If you would like your loved one to receive the vaccine, please contact our Social Service representative and visit them on the procedure we need to follow. We do need consent from either the resident or their guardian before a vaccine is provided.

Our next COVID testing period is Thursday, January 21st. Please continue to be safe, socially distant, wear a mask, and wash hands / frequently sanitize to protect yourself and others from this virus.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the nurse manager in the area in which your loved one lives.

Thank you, and be safe.
