Dear Residents, Family Members, and Responsible Parties,

We hope you all had a joyous, blessed Easter.

Last week’s testing resulted in one Resident testing positive and all staff testing negative. Thus the Home remains in outbreak status for another 21 days, with no visitors allowed and Residents remaining on their units. Staff continues to wear N-95s, face masks, and shields, practice social distancing, and frequently wash and sanitize their hands.

The positivity rate in Philadelphia has been rising in the past few weeks, so we all have to be diligent in maintaining our infection control practices to keep the virus out of all of our homes.
Although no visitors are allowed, Zoom meetings and Face Time calls continue to be available for you to be in touch with your loved ones. Please contact Kelly in the Activities Department at phactivities@littlesistersofthepoor.org. You may also drop items off for your loved ones and we will bring the packages up to them.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to do our best to keep our Residents and staff safe. We ask for your continued prayers, that our Risen Lord will help us emerge from the restrictions of the pandemic.

Sincerely,
Mother Catherine, lsp
