Dear Residents, Family Members and Responsible Parties,

Our most recent testing resulted in one Resident testing positive. This Resident is now on 20-day isolation and the Home remains in outbreak status, with all restrictions and infection control measure still in place.
The positivity rate in Philadelphia is now under 10% so we can go from twice weekly testing to once weekly testing.

Last week Residents and staff received either their first or second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Those who received their first dose will receive their second dose three weeks later. We are happy to be taking this step in protecting our Residents and staff and helping to stop the spread of this deadly virus.

The Home remains under quarantine and continues to be closed to visitors. We can help set up FaceTime calls and Zoom meetings with your loved ones. If you would like to set one up, please reply to this e-mail (phdevelopment@littlesistersofthepoor.org) and provide us with your name, Resident’s name and your phone number. We know it is a poor substitute for an actual face-to-face visit with your loved one, but with the number of cases in the community we are trying our best to keep our Residents safe and healthy.

Thank you all for your prayers and for your understanding during this challenging time. May God continue to guide us and to bring healing to our staff, Residents, and Sisters.

Sincerely,
Mother Catherine, lsp
