COVID-19 Careers News & Events 330-659-4161 Services Amenities Sisters of Charity Support Us Contact Us About Search News & Events NEWS EVENTS NEWSLETTER HOLY IN ONE RECENT NEWS Communication Update November 13, 2021 Visitation All Open We have received the results from last week’s COVID testing and they reveal no additional positive cases. This means that the residents living in the targeted testing areas of 2B and 2C are once again permitted to leave the unit and visitors are once again welcome to those areas. We will once again complete testing of all targeted residents and staff this week, as required. Assuming that negative test results are received after this week’s testing, we will continue to welcome visitors to all areas of the building. At this time, no residents are suspicious for coronavirus, thanks be to God. November 13, 2021 Communication Update November 9, 2021 Guest Visitation Unfortunately, we have identified a positive case of COVID among our direct care staff. The staff member only worked in the 2B & 2C areas of the building. Please pray for a quick and complete recovery of the affected individual. As required by CMS and CDC guidance, we are completing testing of all residents and staff this week in the appropriate, targeted areas of 2B & 2C. Residents on these units are not permitted to leave the unit, except for medical appointments. Unfortunately, this also means that we are required to postpone visitation for 2B & 2C areas of the building while we complete testing. 1C, 2A and Assisted Living residents may continue to have visitors at this time. We will complete testing of all targeted residents and staff this week. If negative test results are received after this week’s testing, we will again open visitation to all areas of the building the week of November 15th, 2021. November 9, 2021 Communication Update COVID - November 1, 2021 Let’s try this again! You received this same communication a few weeks ago. However, just before we “went live,” we received positive COVID test results and were forced to suspend the planned opening of visitation. I am happy to report that we have received negative test results for two weeks in a row, which allows us to again proceed with our original plan. Beginning Tuesday, November 2, 2021, guests will be permitted to visit with residents in their rooms from Monday through Friday between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. No prior sign-up is necessary, and no appointment time is required. November 1, 2021 Communication Update COVID October 26, 2021 However, since all of the test results from last week were negative, scheduled visits may resume this week. Please refer to our website to schedule visits this week through Sign-Up Genius. If negative test results are once again received (after this week’s testing) we are hopeful to begin an open visitation schedule the week of November 1st, 2021. October 25, 2021 Communication Update COVID-19 October 22, 2021 As you heard from the communication sent out on October 15, 2021, we were disappointed to report that we had an additional positive COVID case among our employees last week. Due to the confirmed positive COVID test all residents and all employees were tested this week, per CMS and CDC guidance. I am pleased to report that all test results are complete and have been sent to the lab and we are currently awaiting results. Per CMS and CDC guidance, we must complete a second week of testing of all residents and staff this upcoming week however, once we receive all the results of this week’s testing we will provide you with further communication regarding the results and visitation. October 22, 2021 Communication Update COVID -19 October 15, 2021 I am writing with an important update regarding the coronavirus pandemic. As the “delta variant” continues to surge, I am disappointed to report that this week we have an additional positive case among our employees. The employee, is a direct-care worker. Test confirmation has been received and we will continue the use of K95 masks. Since the test result is positive for COVID, all residents and all employees will need to be tested, per CMS and CDC guidance. Additionally, CMS and ODH guidance dictates that all resident visitation must be suspended for at least one week. If all residents and employee’s results are negative after the next round of testing, visitation may resume the following week, after all test results are received next week. October 15, 2021 Communication Update COVID-19 October 9, 2021 I am writing with an important update regarding the coronavirus pandemic. As the “delta variant” continues to surge, there is a positive case among one of our employees who was exposed outside of work. The employee, is a direct-care worker. Test confirmation has been received and we have re-implemented use of K95 masks. Since the test result is positive for COVID, all residents and all employees will need to be tested, per CMS and CDC guidance. Additionally, CMS and ODH guidance dictates that all resident visitation must be suspended for at least one week. October 9, 2021 Communication Update October, 7 2021 Guest Visitation Beginning on Monday, October 11, 2021 guests will be permitted to visit with Regina Health Center residents in their rooms from Monday through Friday 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM, Saturday/Sunday from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM. No prior sign-up is necessary, and no appointment time is required. Visitors will need to sign in and have their temperatures taken each time they arrive, and masks must be worn at all times. These are requirements of CMS. Masks may be removed during the visit while in the resident’s room, but they must be worn everywhere else in the facility. According to CDC guidance, “During indoor visitation, facilities should limit visitor movement in the facility. For example, visitors should not walk around different halls of the facility. Rather, they should go directly to the resident’s room or designated visitation area. Visits for residents who share a room should not be conducted in the resident’s room, if possible.” (Ref: QSO-20-39-NH) October 7, 2021 COVID-19 Communication Update September 13, 2021 As the “delta variant” continues to surge, there is a positive case among one of our employees who was exposed outside of work. The employee, is a direct-care worker. Test confirmation has been received and we have re-implemented use of K95 masks. Since the test result is positive for COVID, all residents and all employees will need to be tested, per CMS and CDC guidance. September 13, 2021 COVID-19 Communication Update I am writing to share good news: the results of our COVID testing are finally in and I’m happy to report that there are no additional positive cases among either the residents or the employees! We sent 237 samples, which included all residents and all employees, and the test results reveal no further spread of the coronavirus this week. August 22, 2021 COVID-19 Communication Update 8/13/2021 As the “delta variant” continues to surge, there is a suspected positive case among our employees. The employee, who is not a direct-care worker, was beginning to experience mild symptoms and was sent home to quarantine, pending lab results. Assuming that the test result is positive for COVID, all residents and all employees will need to be tested, per CMS and CDC guidance. Additionally, CMS and ODH guidance dictates that all resident visitation must be suspended for at least one week. If all residents and employees are negative on subsequent testing, visitation may resume as before. At this time, no residents are suspicious for coronavirus... August 13, 2021 COVID-19 Communication Update June 29 2021 Importantly, both CMS and CDC directives and recommendations remain in place, as Governor DeWine noted in his press conference. This means that some of our procedures which have been in place regarding visitation will remain in place until CMS & the CDC alter their directive and recommendations. The CDC recommends on their website that “visits for patients/residents who share a room should not be conducted in the patient/resident’s room”. Since the majority of our resident rooms are semiprivate, we have opted to continue to accommodate visitation in areas other than the residential units. In this way, we will fulfill the CDC recommendation and, at the same time, we will respect the rights and wishes of those residents who, for infection control purposes, prefer not to have visitors in their room – either their own visitors or those of their roommate.
