Tuesday Newsday: Covid-19 Update 6/10

June 10, 2020
Ave Maria Home, in conjunction with our sister facility, St. Clare Health and Rehab, continues to monitor the always changing situation with COVID-19. We continue to follow the recommendations from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the CDC, and the Department of Health. We are continuing to provide the care and concern for our residents.
Ave Maria and St. Clare Health are continuing to monitor our residents and staff on a daily basis based upon assistance and guidance we have received from the State Department of Health and the Shelby County Health Department. Weekly testing for COVID-19 for our employees will begin toward the end of June. For more information about COVID-19 and what is recommended, please consult the website below. We will have more information about our changing situation in the coming weeks. We currently have no active cases of the virus among our staff or elders.

This is a difficult time for everyone. Please be assured that you all remain in our prayers and we are working diligently to keep our staff and residents healthy. We continue to allow window visits, Facetime, Skype, and other forms of communication for immediate family members, but again, no one is allowed inside any facilities here on the campus.
If we can answer any questions, do not hesitate to contact us at 901-701-5999. Ave Maria continues to take all necessary precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Sincerely,
Frank J. Gattuso, Jr.
Executive Director
