Dear Family and Friends of South Cove Manor:
Last week, we collected samples to test for the presence of COVID-19 from all of our residents, and all of our staff members. Those samples were submitted to our Lab for processing shortly after they were collected.
As I had said in an e-mail last week, all nursing homes in Massachusetts are required to complete testing for all residents and staff members by July 19
th, resulting in an incredibly large increase in volume for labs. I’m sure that all of you are eagerly awaiting to hear the results of those tests – as are all of us here in the building. I wanted to let all of you know that due to the large numbers of samples that are being submitted, the labs are experiencing a significant delay in processing, and as of the publishing of this letter, we have not received the results yet.
As soon as the results are received, we will be sharing that information with all residents, family members and staff.
Thank you again for placing your trust in South Cove Manor.
