This weekend, we had one staff member test positive for COVID-19 at West Wind Village; therefore, we will initiate point prevalence testing for residents and staff with an exposure to this staff. We will continue testing all non-vaccinated staff twice a week according to the county transmission rate. We are following recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

Fortunately, we do not need to quarantine residents at this time unless they exhibit symptoms and group activities and communal dining will continue.

We will once again restrict visitation for all residents to compassionate care and essential care visits at this time. We encourage essential caregivers to get tested before visiting to help keep our residents safe.  Essential visitors will need to pass the screening; if you have any COVID signs or symptoms or an exposure, please refrain from visiting.

Skyview Senior Living continues to test unvaccinated staff twice weekly according to the county transmission rate. At this time they have no known positive cases of COVID-19 and Skyview Senior Living is currently open for indoor visits.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to Paula Henrickson at 320-589-7900, if you have any questions or concerns.  Thank you so much for your cooperation and patience during these challenging times.
